• 1/4 pound Sicilian or other green olives, drained
• 1/4 pound Kalamata or other ripe black olives, drained

Preparation

Step 1

Arrange the ingredients on a large serving platter as desired, or as follows: Tightly roll the salami slices into tubes and arrange on the platter. Fold the capicolla slices in half, then in half again, and arrange on the platter. Arrange the remaining ingredients and serve.

NOTE: An Antipasto platter can include any of your favorite meats, cheeses, and vegetables, so if capicolla, or any of the other items are not available, or if you simply don't want or like them, make substitutions. This platter can be prepared ahead of time, covered, and chilled until ready to serve.
