Gluten Free Antipasto

Perhaps you’re serving an Italian meal for Valentine’s Day? If so, a gluten free antipasto may be something to consider. It definitely makes a meal special. For those of you who don’t already know, antipasto is an Italian word meaning: anti = before + pasto = food, ultimately referring to appetizers. It is tradition to serve particular items as part of antipasto. I have listed the ingredients you may wish to add, though not all are traditional (most are) you can always get creative. Antipasto has been a bit Americanized in our country. In Italy, and in fine, traditional Italian restaurants pickled pigs feet are an optional add on to antipasto. Antipasto is not traditionally served as a salad, but it makes a wonderful salad/appetizer combo. Or serve it as an appetizer along with the very simple salad, which is what I prefer. What will you serve?
