Antipasto Salad (aka Chopped Italian Salad)

Antipasto is the traditional first course in an Italian meal, usually made of bite-size small portions and served on a platter. This salad is inspired by antipasto where you simply take all of your favourite foods from an antipasto platter and throw them into a salad! The base of the salad is lettuce and includes the following antipasto ingredients: artichoke hearts, olives, pepperoncini, provolone, fresh mozzarella balls, pepperoni, and salami. A homemade italian dressing finishes the salad off nicely! All of the ingredients are cut into bite sized pieces so you could easily call this a ‘chopped Italian salad’.
