Tasty, but I’d still like to add peas. They just belong in tuna casserole.

Antipasto Bites

Well, they taste good. I substituted pepperoni for salami. Have you seen the fat and calories in a single slice of salami?! BUT these are just so tiny. Not sure it’s a real keeper.

48 slices turkey pepperoni
1 c artichoke hearts, chopped fine
2 oz diced pimientos, drained
