Antipasto for Dinner

On days that I don't feel like cooking much (apart from grilling a few Zucchini and Yellow Squash slices) this is a fairly simple but lavish spread. All my boys love this for a change from our usual dinner and we kick off the weekend on a happy, fun and exciting note.

This feast consists of the following goodies. Best thing is there are no rules and there are no recipes so go all out and pair with whatever your heart desires.

FRUITS: Fresh Brown Figs and Sweet Babydoll Grapes (you can use regular, i found them fresh so they went well with my off-beat theme :)

MEATS: Prosciutto (dry cured ham), Sopressata, Dry Coppa (rubbed with black pepper and wine)

CHEESES: Bucheron (soft ripened goat cheese) and Brie (I love it with a little drizzle of fresh honey)

OLIVES: Stuffed Green and Pitted Black ones cured in oil.

VEGGIES: Grilled Zucchini (on a cast iron grill pan) and a medley of pickled veggies and banana peppers (carrots, bell peppers, cauliflower to name a few)

BREAD: A Crusty Roasted Garlic Bread

SALAD: Caprese (tomato, basil, mozarella medallions with a drizzle of honey balsamic vinaigrette) 

Hope you enjoy this with your friends and family.
