Description

A vibrant and flavorful antipasto featuring creamy mozzarella balls, tender artichokes, and briny olives, all marinated in a zesty herb-infused olive oil.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup small mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and halved
  • 1 cup mixed olives (such as Kalamata and Castelvetrano)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella balls, artichoke hearts, and olives.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade over the mozzarella mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer with crusty bread or as part of a charcuterie board.
