Cup of Yum
Assemble the Salad
- Place the lettuce into the bottom of a large serving bowl and drizzle it with half of the dressing and toss.
- Top with the remaining ingredients and drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad.
- Toss and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use any favorite dijon mustard. I’m love using basil dijon but regular dijon works just as well!
- Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Use another kind of lettuce. Iceberg, butter lettuce, greenleaf or a blend of a few.
- Don't skip the pepperoni, salami, provolone and mozzarella. They make the antipasto salad so full of flavor!
- You can prep this salad up to two days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. If you do, just keep the dressing separate and pour if over the entire salad before serving.
- Once the salad is dressed, you’ll want to eat it within a few hours or it may start to become soggy.
