Storage Instructions
If you have any leftovers (although it’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Squared Antipasto is best enjoyed fresh but can be kept for up to 2 days.
Food and Drink Pairings
Pair Squared Antipasto with a crisp Italian white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Prosecco for a refreshing contrast to the savory flavors. Alternatively, serve it with a selection of crusty bread and dipping oils for a more substantial appetizer experience.
