Every holiday growing up always began with Antipasto. And I have carried on this tradition. I serve my antipasto on a buffet table and include a basket of Italian bread and shrimp cocktail (and, of course, wine!) You can include any type of your favorite deli meats, cheeses, and marinated veggies. This is how I make it..... Bon Appetite

How To Make antipasto salad

  • Step 1
    Place a layer of lettuce on a large serving platter.
  • Step 2
    Roll your meats into a cylinder shape and place in a nice pattern on top of the lettuce. I alternate ham, salami and prosciutto.
  • Step 3
    Drain your marinated veggies and scatter on top of the meat. Drain the olives and scatter those on top. Place cut up cheeses next and end with the grape tomatoes.
  • Step 4
    Top with fresh ground pepper, parsley and basil. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Sprinkle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar just before serving.
