Antipasto Salad


My new favorite salad of the moment is this Antipasto salad I created after reading through dozens of recipes online. I needed to bring a salad to work that pared well with pizza. Big hit at work and at home. This is not a cheap salad as jarred artichokes, deli salami and deli provolone cost about $5 each. It ends up being about $25-30, but it yields plenty for dinner and lunch leftovers the next day. Still cheaper than eating out.

Antipasto Salad
makes 4-5 servings

1/2 head red lettuce
1/2 head butter lettuce
1 can black (or green) whole, pitted olives
1 small box of yellow cherry tomatoes
1 small jar of artichoke hearts cut in half (in oil tastes better)
1/2 cup deli sliced peperoncini from jar (or to taste)
5 slices of provolone cut into pieces (deli sliced provolone is best)
1 package of deli sliced salami cut into pieces
Italian dressing to taste
