antipasto salad
This delectable Antipasto Salad is loaded with crisp romaine, sweet tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, soft mozzarella pearls, Kalamata olives, cherry peppers, pepperoncini, and salami. Then it is drizzled with a tasty oil and vinegar Italian dressing. It is typically served as the first course of a traditional Italian meal. However I love to serve this tasty salad during those hot summer evenings when turning on the stove is just not ideal. This hearty salad can be served as a meal by itself or for a company worthy meal serve with pasta pomodoro or chicken parmesan.
