Antipasto Salad
Description
This Antipasto Salad brings together chopped romaine lettuce layered with cured meats like turkey pepperoni and prosciutto for savory depth. Accompanying these are a variety of vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced red onions, green olives, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, and giardiniera, which add different textures and a mix of fresh and pickled flavors. Mozzarella cheese provides a mild, creamy element that balances the saltiness of the meats and the tanginess of the pickled components.
The dressing is a simple vinaigrette made by whisking red wine vinegar or the brine from pepperoncini with black pepper and olive oil, offering brightness that ties the ingredients together without overwhelming them. The salad is easy to assemble by placing the lettuce base and layering the toppings, then drizzling the dressing just before serving to maintain crispness.
This salad is suitable as an appetizer or a light meal, combining varied flavors and textures in a single dish. It requires no cooking and can be customized by swapping or adjusting meat and vegetable quantities.
