Tips + Tricks
Important Ingredients Notes
This antipasto recipe has all everyday ingredients, just combined in a different way!
Mozzarella balls – Most of us are used to eating this cheese shredded, but you can find it stashed in small plastic packed of water in the deli section of your store. They are super creamy and pair perfectly with these other Mediterranean foods.
You can swap them out for any other low carb cheese if you have a preference, but I strongly suggest giving fresh mozz a try!
Genoa Salami – This pork salami has a higher fat content and it tastes slightly fermented. It adds a great taste and texture to meat appetizers.
Basil – Fresh basil leaves add a crisp, flavor, and scent to this dish. Use bright green leaves, and if you’re using a plant from home, don’t use basil from a plant with flowers on it – they’re flavorless.
Black olives – You can use any kinds of olives for this dish but I prefer whole black olives. Make sure the ones you grab don’t have a pit!
Serving Recommendations
