Antipasto Salad
Description
Antipasto Salad starts with chopped red leaf and romaine lettuce mixed with jarred roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, sliced red onion, parsley, kalamata olives, diced pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, and cherry tomatoes. The salad is tossed with a homemade Italian dressing blending extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. This combination delivers layers of bright, savory, and tangy flavors.
The salad works well served chilled alongside crusty bread or as a filling course in an Italian-inspired meal. The varied textures from crisp greens, soft cheese, firm meats, and olives make it satisfying and flavorful.
As the salad uses jarred and fresh ingredients, it comes together quickly. Tossing just before serving helps to keep the lettuce crisp. Pepperoncini peppers served on the side add an optional spicy bite.
