Hi, guys! I was actually making this Antipasto Salad for the fam this week and wondered why I'd never shared it before; It's a delicious, filling, salad-for-dinner option that can be literally thrown together in minutes and everyone loves it. It's a Romaine base topped with all of your favorites from the Antipasto tray: pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and pepperoncini.

It looks like you spent a lot of time preparing it, but it's made up of mostly, if not all, pre-packaged, jarred, or canned items and the homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette is so easy, you don't even need measuring cups or spoons and it is so good! You can even leave out the pepperoni for a meatless meal option. Give it a try this week and you'll be adding it into your meal planning for sure!

Years and years ago, I went out to eat with my mom and the restaurant had an antipasto salad. After trying it I was hooked and decided it was easy enough to throw together at home, so I did and it was a hit with everyone!

I made a few changes from theirs and added a balsamic vinaigrette dressing and I think that's what made it shine so dang hard. This dressing is amazing and it has literally 3 ingredients, not including a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

I'll give you my tried and true recipe, but you can customize this to include black or green olives, anchovies, mushrooms, salami, prosciutto, different cheeses, roasted peppers, roasted garlic cloves, slivered almonds, or croutons. Go crazy! Or don't. Mine is good, too. 😉
