Easy Antipasto Salad
Ingredients
- 10 ounces marinated artichokes, drained and quartered

- 1 pound assorted cured meats (Salami, Mortadella, Sopressata etc.), sliced

Using preserved vegetables and meats packed with flavors of Italy, you can create a beautiful salad without any cooking at all!
Why Try? The hands-down easiest way to prepare an elegant meal is to know how to assemble already delicious elements into a bountiful dinner. Many of these ingredients can be kept on hand in your pantry for a meal in minutes.
Foodie Byte: • Antipasto means “before the meal” and is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. • We recommend this recipe as a quick and easy dinner but you could certainly prepare this as an appetizer serving at least 10 people. A nice touch would be to include a small block of Parmesan on the side with a peeler so guests can shave off a few slices for their salads.
Preparation
- Lay mixed greens on large platter.
- Arrange artichokes, olives, cured meats, peppers, Mozzarella, and capers on top of greens.
- Serve with balsamic vinaigrette on the side.
