What Is Antipasto Salad
Antipasto is usually a first course of an Italian meal. It consisted of cured meats, cheeses and marinated vegetables. We are taking all the antipasto goodness and making it into one easy salad. A mix of salami, cheese, marinated artichokes, olives, tomatoes and pepperoncini tossed in a flavorful dressing.
This salad can be eaten as is or combine with a fresh spring mix greens for a healthy, flavorful meal. Omit any ingredients that you do not prefer or add any of your favorites.

Serving Suggestions
Yes! You can prep all the ingredients 1–2 days in advance. Just keep the dressing separate and mix before serving.
A zesty Italian vinaigrette or balsamic dressing works perfectly. Homemade versions with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and Italian herbs are especially flavorful.
An antipasto platter is served as a collection of separate items for grazing, while an antipasto salad mixes all those ingredients together with greens and dressing.

I made this salad per the instructions, nothing different and it was fabulous! I generally feel these kinds of homemade dressings lack, but the whole thing put together easily, fairly quickly, and we love it. A total keeper. Thank you.
So easy to put together and everyone loved it!
