NextImg:Antipasto Salad

View the print-ready version of this recipe.

Antipasto salad: the classic antipasto platter reimagined as an abundant, crave-worthy salad. This version includes marinated olives and artichokes, two types of cheese, pickled onions, pepperoni or salami, and lots of fresh veggies, all tossed in a garlicky Italian vinaigrette that packs a punch. You can enjoy this salad as a light main course with some crusty bread, as a side dish to grilled chicken or steak, or alongside vegetarian pasta dishes like cacio e pepe or spaghetti with pesto. My favorite way to enjoy it, though, is with a take-out pizza. This is a fantastic dinner shortcut not only for busy weeknights but also for entertaining. If you’re having casual company, simply order a few of your favorite pies, toss this crowd-pleasing salad, and whip up a quick homemade dessert. With this no-stress menu, you can host a fun get-together and impress your friends and family without putting in too much effort.

Notes: For the olives and artichokes, the olive bar at the supermarket is your best option (I use the kalamata/green olive blend).
