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.
