Zucchini antipasto is a classic Italian appetizer, versatile enough to accompany toast, fill sandwiches, or complement salads and roasted meats.
For an antipasto with "personality," combine the following elements:
Base: Sliced Italian zucchini (with peel).
Aromatics: Sliced or chopped garlic, red onion, and bell peppers (red or yellow).
Fresh Herbs: Basil, mint, parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
Acidity: Vinegar (white, apple, or red wine) or Sicilian lemon juice.
Texture and Flavor: Sliced olives, chili peppers (or biquinho peppers), oregano, and walnuts/pistachios to finish.
