I always thought it was an appetizer of different European style marinated vegetables tossed together, I think it means different things to different people. I have made this recipe in the past http://allrecipes.com/recipe/14278/anti ... sta-salad/

To me, antipasto is just an Italian relish tray with charcuterie and maybe cheese added.
I'd put it out on a platter with maybe some crackers or slices of baguette with maybe some bread dipping oil (evoo & ital spices and salt) or some french mustard.
And wines, if you drink it.
Think Italian style tapas.
I'm not much on mixing it in other things like salads or cooking it. I generally would hand select the things for my antipasto and not buy it in jars. There's more control that way.

That jar must have been mislabelled antipasto.
Should have said nastipasto. =))
I'll keep it in mind as a warning to never buy any.

Thank you for the lol Sue, so better to toss a jar than to also have to toss the planned chicken breasts as well! While I rarely make antipasto I do love the homemade. I'm sure there must be some good ones on the shelf but no never again! Okay maybe next year will give the Regina Farmers Market a go - it's all home made. :)
