Jump to RecipeTo begin, you'll need to prepare all of your ingredients. Drain the marinated artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and olives from their jars and set aside. Cut the prosciutto and salamis into small bite-sized pieces. Slice the cheese into cubes or small wedges. Make sure to have all of your ingredients ready and within reach before starting to assemble your antipasto tree.
Place the Styrofoam cone in the center of your platter or cheese board. This will act as the base for your antipasto tree.
Starting at the bottom of the cone, skewer a piece of prosciutto, followed by a piece of cheese, and then a marinated artichoke heart. Continue skewering the ingredients in a circular pattern around the cone, making sure to alternate between the different ingredients to create a colorful and varied look.
Pro tip: Use toothpicks to secure larger pieces of prosciutto or salami to the cone.
Once you have reached the middle of the cone, start skewering the olives onto the cone. These will act as the "ornaments" on your antipasto tree.
Once you have reached the top of the cone, add some fresh herbs and garnish around the base of the tree for a festive touch.
Your cafe delites antipasto Christmas tree is now ready to be served and enjoyed! Simply remove the toothpicks and let your guests dig in. Serve with some crusty bread or crackers for a complete antipasto experience.
