Perfect for Sundays Antipasto Salad
I am so excited to share this Antipasto Salad. It’s great for a Sunday Dinner. It feels so indulgent and delicious. What makes it so wonderful is that it is easy to assemble. It has quite a few ingredients, but it doesn’t take much time. It’s the perfect for a celebration salad that you can enjoy any time of the year.

What to put into your Antipasto Salad
To start your antipasto salad, you want to choose your greens. You can use any that you would like. We used slightly softer lettuce baby romaine and arugula. For more flavor, we also added radicchio. It has a strong flavor, so I like thin slices of it. This makes every bite totally balanced and tasty.

For the toppings, I brought in some saltier flavors with California green olives, salami, pepperoncini, peppadew peppers, and Marinated Onions. I love a salad that is more savory, and these deep, beautiful flavors blend perfectly. Once you have your toppings, we can add in cheese. This is a celebration antipasto salad, so I’m not holding back in this department. I used Manchego, grated parmesan, mozzarella pearls, and parmesan crisps on top. It sounds like a lot, but with all of the toppings in this salad, it perfectly complements them.
What Dressing To Use on Your Salad

Our antipasto salad is great with just red wine vinegar and Marinated Onion oil. But because we are celebrating with this salad, I decided to add my Charred Scallion Dressing too. You don’t need much, but the little bit of creaminess was the perfect final touch.
