Antipasto Salad
The Antipasto Salad combines diced cured meats, provolone cheese, and pickled vegetables like giardiniera, green olives, and pepperoncini. Tossed with a dressing of pepperoncini brine, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and fresh cracked black pepper, the salad offers a balanced mix of savory, tangy, and mildly spicy flavors. It makes a hearty and flavorful salad that benefits from marinating in the refrigerator to blend the tastes.
