Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 5 ounces salami diced
  • 5 ounces pepperoni mini or diced
  • 2 jars of olives I used black and a green
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 jar marinated artichoke hearts 12 ounces
  • 1 cup diced pepper jack cheese into cubes
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese diced into cubes
  • 1/2 cup banana peppers I used jar but could slice fresh
  • Parsley optional
  • 1 head of lettuce I used romaine but any works

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your dressing in a bowl or mason jar. Add in your oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, minced garlic, and salt and pepper. Stir or shake until well combined. Taste to see if you need more salt or pepper. Set aside.
  • Now you will work on prepping your cheese, veggies, and meat. Then begin to assemble your antipasto salad.
  • Start by adding your lettuce to the bottom. Then add meat followed by cheese, artichoke hearts, peppers, tomatoes, olives, and parsley.
  • Now Drizzle with homemade dressing and serve your fresh antipasto salad.

Notes

If you plan to save some, don't pour dressing directly on the salad mix. Pour on each plate as the dressing will wilt the lettuce faster.
I used a mix of cheese but feel free to use one variety of cheese.
Add in some roasted red peppers.
Any style of tomatoes works in this if you are a fan of tomatoes.
If you don't want to use homemade dressing feel free to use your favorite store-bought dressing.
