    Why you are going to love this Antipasto Platter for a Crowd

    This platter is a low fuss easy charcuterie board. You can add any cheese, cured meats, olives, marinated vegetables, crackers, breads you desire. However, the star of this Antipasto platter is the red pepper and sun dried tomato pesto. You are going to love it on toasted crostini and if any left over it is fantastic in pasta.

    Bottomless food platter for a crowd

    I think my teenage boys must have hallow legs. Where else can they be putting all of that food?

    I always think I am making enough for the family but then when we sit down to eat it just evaporates within nanoseconds. I have learned the hard way to never bring out food to the boys without first taking off my portion before I bring it out to the table.

    Make sure you get extra olives and bread to replenish your Antipasto Platter for a Crowd as these treats go fast!

    Antipasto platter for a crowd or one hungry teenager

    Did you know that my youngest teenage has grown over 12 inches in less than a year ? He needs to eat continuously to support that growth spurt.

    I always know when my boys start to get hungry as they start to prowl in the kitchen, opening cupboards and refrigerator foraging for food.  I feel like they are stalking me like a pack of wild hungry dogs in the kitchen.

    Antipasto platter for a crowd or one hungry teenager

    With that in mind, I decided to build a large Antipasto Platter for a Crowd to hold off the hungry pack of wolves. Packed with yummy hearty foods to keep them out of my kitchen sanctuary. Garlic bread with roasted pepper basil with sun-dried tomato and garlic wine sauce, feta and basil stuffed Prosciutto wraps, olives, marinated artichokes, pepperoni, fresh vine ripened tomatoes and basil and a large spinach salad on the side.

    Weekends are always busy as you know running from one activity to the other and when you finally land at home you want something easy and fun to eat with little prep, fuss and cooking time. I hope you enjoy this lovely Antipasto Platter for a Crowd.

        So easy and yet so yummy. You can make them several hours in advance of your guest arrival and then at the last minute a little drizzle of olive oil and some cracked pepper on top and yum!

      This looks like a great snack or appetizer tray!!! I have done pickle wraps with meats like this but never basil, I may have to try this!

        Hello Jo-Lyn. My sister showed me I thought was a weird appetizer but it tastes awesome. She takes a slice of ham, proscuitto, turkey then slathers it with a layer of cream cheese, then puts a 1/4 spear of a dill pickle in side and wraps up and cuts into slices. Weird but so good. What is your recipe for the pickles wraps?

      Hello Charles, All that eating during your growth spurt seems to have worked wonders. Look at the tall handsome chap you turned out to be. My youngest son loves to eat but he also loves to cook so maybe we are on to something here... Take care, BAM

      Haha, hollow legs - my parents used to say the same thing 😀 I could always pack away vast quantities of food! 😀 I saw some more antipasti recently... this serves as a reminder that I should give it a try soon - I love things like this 🙂

        I think I am going to have to put a brick on his head to stop him from growing. I sure wish there was a grocery store right in our apartment complex as making food hauls is starting to through out my good shoulder... Take care, BAM
