Antipasto
Antipasto, which means "before food" in Italian, is a salad-like appetizer consisting of various fresh and pickled vegetables, cheeses, and rolled or sliced meats. For vegetarian antipasto, you can either substitute mock meat products or leave them out altogether.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love picnics. There’s something about sitting outside when it’s nice and warm, sipping a cool drink, and nibbling away at simple but tasty food. Here are some recipes for your perfect vegetarian picnic. I also recommend a baguette or two to eat with your salad or cheese, and some rosé or sweet white wine – there’s nothing better than sipping wine while sitting in the sun!
