Antipasto Salad
Description
This salad features a variety of cured Italian-style meats sliced thinly alongside slices of provolone cheese, providing both savory and creamy elements. The choice of iceberg and romaine lettuces offers a crisp, fresh base. Marinated vegetables such as mushrooms, kalamata olives, peperoncini, and roasted red peppers introduce tangy and briny notes that balance the richness of the meats and cheese. Halved cherry tomatoes bring sweetness and color.
The dressing combines red wine vinegar and olive oil whisked with salt and freshly ground black pepper, lightly coating the salad ingredients just before serving to preserve freshness and texture. This antipasto salad works well as an appetizer or a light main dish offering a variety of flavors and satisfying textures.
