Antipasto Salad
Description
The Antipasto Salad combines a base of mixed salad greens with flavorful ingredients including chopped salami, prosciutto, Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, canned chickpeas, marinated artichoke hearts, and small mozzarella balls. These toppings provide a variety of salty, tangy, and savory notes. The salad is dressed with a vinaigrette made using olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and onion powders, oregano, salt, and pepper.
The dressing is shaken together and used to toss the greens lightly before arranging the cured meats, cheeses, and vegetables on top. The remaining dressing is drizzled over the salad to finish. Parsley garnish adds fresh color.
This salad suits casual lunches or as an appetizer before a main course. Using marinated artichokes and mozzarella balls adds depth of flavor, while arranging ingredients in small groups allows diners to customize bites.
