Tuscan Waldorf Style Antipasto

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the Recipe: Traveling to Italy, we were treated to the most delicious first course flatbreads for sharing before dinner, which inspired this recipe. It has a Tuscan twist, featuring pesto flavored Waldorf Salad. It’s accompanied with warm peppered walnut glazed flatbread, oozing creamy cheese, and flavorful Italian meat. Magnifico!

What is an Antipasto and why is it a comfort food?
 It is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Some even call it a starter or an appetizer. The ingredients will vary greatly according to regional cuisine, and may include fish, cured meats, mushrooms, or cheeses. It is meant to engage and stimulate all five senses and served at the beginning of a meal.

To Serve: Prepare 2 plates. For each:  Place one flatbread walnut side up on a large plate, arrange 2 to 3 lettuce leaves, beef, or prosciutto slices, 2-ounce wedge burrata cheese, and spoon about 3/4 cup waldorf salad over flatbread. Lightly spray finished dish with balsamic vinegar as desired. Serve open face style as first course or cut into slices for a sharing first course.  Garnish plates with fresh basil sprig and cluster of grapes as desired.

Serves:  2
