Want another trick to achieve a gorgeous antipasti display?

Use string! Drape it across your platter to create undulating shapes. Then fill those shapes with the ingredients. You can slip the string out once the ingredients are in position.

Use string to make an artful antipasti arrangement. Fill ingredients within the shapes and pull the string out when you’re finished arranging.
