Catherine’s Vegetable Antipasto, Sauce

Catherine’s Vegetable Antipasto (also called their Savoury Vegetarian Antipasto) is a vibrant, all-veggie Canadian preserve from a small family-run company in Ontario. It’s a modern, vegan twist on classic antipasto that’s packed with fresh flavor and a touch of heat—no additives, preservatives, or animal products. 

Imagine a bright, chunky medley of crisp-tender vegetables swimming in a lively sauce: a fresh tomato base brightened up with a tangy mustard vinaigrette. The sauce itself is zesty and well-balanced—tomato-forward with wine vinegar for acidity, mustard for a gentle kick and creaminess, plus garlic, herbs, chili peppers for subtle warmth, and a hint of sweetness from currants. It’s not a heavy, cooked-down sauce but a fresh, spoonable relish-style condiment that feels light yet deeply savory.

What makes it fun and delicious?

•  Crunchy, colorful bites: Red peppers, onions, capers, and almonds add pops of texture—crisp veggies meet nutty crunch and briny bursts from the capers.

•  Sweet-heat balance: Plump currants bring little jewels of sweetness that play beautifully against the chili heat and mustard tang. It’s lively without being overpowering.

•  Versatile party star: Chill it and serve straight from the jar (250 ml size is perfect for sharing). Spoon it onto crackers for an instant appetizer, pile it on crusty bread with cheese, or use it to jazz up a charcuterie board. It also makes a killer sandwich spread, burger topping, or even a quick pasta toss for a no-cook meal.

•  Healthy and effortless: 100% plant-based, gluten-free, and made with real ingredients like tomatoes, red peppers, canola oil, currants, capers, almonds, onion, garlic, herbs, mustard, wine vinegar, and chili peppers. It’s the kind of thing that makes grazing feel gourmet and guilt-free.
