Antipasto Salad
Description
The Antipasto Salad layers mixed salad greens as a base, topped with slices and chunks of provolone and mozzarella cheeses, slices of salami, quartered grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, banana peppers, and thin slices of red onion. The homemade Italian dressing, made with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan, is shaken or whisked until emulsified. The salad is then tossed to evenly coat all ingredients with the bright, herbaceous dressing that ties the flavors together.
The salad offers a contrasting mix of fresh and brined elements—the crisp greens and tomatoes balance the salty olives and cheeses, while the banana peppers add a mild heat and acidity. The assortment makes it suitable as a starter, side dish, or light main dish.
