Prep Time 15 minutes mins
- Halal-Friendly Meats:
- 4 oz turkey prosciutto thinly sliced
- 4 oz beef salami thinly sliced
- 4 oz beef bresaola or smoked turkey slices
- Variety of Cheeses:
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella balls bocconcini or burrata
- 4 oz aged Parmesan cut into chunks
- 4 oz provolone or sharp cheddar sliced
- Marinated Vegetables:
- ½ cup roasted red peppers drained and sliced
- ½ cup marinated artichoke hearts
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes drained
- Olives Nuts & Fresh Elements:
- ½ cup mixed olives green, black, and Kalamata
- ¼ cup salted or spiced almonds
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves
- ¼ cup balsamic glaze for drizzling
Select your board: Begin with a large wooden board, slate tile, or marble slab as the base.
Arrange the meats: Fold or roll the turkey prosciutto, beef salami, and bresaola, then arrange them on the platter in different areas for visual appeal.
Position the cheeses: Place the cheeses across the board. For burrata or mozzarella, put them in small dishes to contain any liquids. Cut Parmesan into rustic, irregular chunks.
Add marinated vegetables: Use small bowls for items like olives and marinated artichokes to prevent liquids from spreading. Scatter roasted peppers and sun-dried tomatoes directly on the board.
Fill in gaps with fresh elements: Tuck cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves into any open spaces, adding color and aroma.
Final touches: Drizzle high-quality balsamic glaze over the fresh mozzarella and serve with the baguette slices and crackers on the side or in a separate basket.
Creative Variations: Mini antipasto skewers: Perfect for formal gatherings. Antipasto cups: Great for buffets or outdoor events. Antipasto wreath: A festive, circular arrangement ideal for holidays. Healthier Adaptations: For a low-carb option, skip the bread and crackers and use cucumber or bell pepper slices. For a lighter protein choice, opt for extra lean turkey breast or grilled chicken slices. Increase the fresh vegetable content for a more nutritious platter.
