Antipasto ingredients are sliced and diced to make a fun, flexible chopped salad. We've thrown in our favorites, and so should you. Add the dressing ingredients to the bowl, too, and mix them when you toss the salad--it's the Italian way.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
For Salad:
1 head romaine lettuce (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1-inch squares (about 3 quarts)
1/4 pound sliced pepperoni, chopped
1/3 cup drained sliced pimentos (one 4-ounce jar)
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 1/2 cups drained, rinsed, and chopped canned artichoke hearts (one 15-ounce can), or 1 1/2 cups pitted and chopped green or black olives
For Dressing:
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
FOR SALAD: In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the romaine, pepperoni, pimientos, onion, and the artichoke hearts or olives. Toss to combine.


FOR DRESSING: Add the vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan to the bowl. Toss thoroughly to combine the ingredients.


VARIATIONS:
  • Use chopped salami or prosciutto instead of the pepperoni.
  • Add some chopped pepperoncini to spice up the salad.
  • Try a cup of drained and rinsed canned chickpeas instead of the artichoke hearts.
  • Diced provolone cheese would make a nice addition.
  • Stir in about a third of a cup of thin-sliced basil leaves.


WINE RECOMMENDATION: The Piedmontese drink more of their native barbera than they do any other wine because its crisp acidity and bright blackberry flavors are at home with so many dishes. Try a Barbera d'Alba with this salad and you may become a convert yourself.
