Antipasto Salad

Antipasto Salad is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We get together on Sundays to post recipes on a topic chosen by whoever hosts that week. This week, Rebekah is hosting and has asked us to post “Recipes with Heart”. And we have.

The hearts in my recipe come from a jar of lovely Roman marinated artichoke hearts. You might wonder how those differ from ordinary marinated artichoked. Well, these are a premium type, being smaller and more tender. Plus they have the stem intact. You can see one there in the upper right of the bowl, looking very much like a rosebud. They were delicious.
I also used a 12 ounce package of antipasto charcuterie for the salads. It came with four types: pepper salami, capicolla, prosciutto, and dry salami. I’m not sure if it was 3 ounces each, as the prosciutto was likely less weight.
However, you can use any type of salamis, hams or other meats, as well as whichever artichoke hearts you have.
I opted for marinated varieties where I could. Since I was short on time. But you can also marinate your own in salad dressing.
I used my recipe for Olive Garden Salad Dressing on this. It goes very well, but use your favorite Italian dressing. My Creamy Parmesan dressing is also a good choice.
