This recipe makes a huge amount. I can it and give it away as Christmas gifts. We usually make this as a group project to cut down on prep time and cost. The ingredient amounts may be altered proportionally as needed.

SIMPLE ANTIPASTO SALAD (THE WAY MY MOM MADE IT)

Simple Antipasto Salad (The Way My Mom Made It) image

From my understanding, this is NOT traditional antipasto, but it's loosely based on the antipasto salad I used to order when I lived in Grand Junction, CO, at a restaurant called Junction Square. I do not remember the exact ingredient amounts so everything's estimated, however, this does use an entire head of iceberg lettuce, so it can easily feed 3-5 I would guess. We always ate this as a main dish, and for lunch. All of the ingredients are easily found in your grocery store's deli and produce departments, and packaged cheese section. Cook time is assembly time.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped and shredded
3/4-1 lb hard salami (Hormel Hard Salami or Genoa is good for this, ask your deli to slice into 1/4 inch-thick slices)
2 -4 tomatoes, chopped
1/2-1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Italian dressing (my fave is Kraft, and you can use light or fat-free instead)

Steps:

Remove outer leaves and wash the iceberg lettuce and pat dry.
Chop and shred the iceberg lettuce and place in large bowl.
Chop the 1/4 inch-thick salami slices into bite-sized chunks. Add to the iceberg.
Chop tomatoes, add to the iceberg.
Sprinkle salad with desired amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.
When ready to serve, pour over your favorite Italian dressing and toss to coat.
Note: If you know there won't be enough people to finish the salad in one sitting, assemble only a small amount to serve at the time, and keep the rest of the prepared ingredients in separate containers in the fridge and assemble right before eating to prevent sogginess.

MOM'S ANTIPASTO SALAD

Mom's Antipasto Salad image

I rarely cook anything like my mother, but this is the exception. I like it just the way she made it. If she had extras of any of the ingredients, she would add more. She liked it to have a lot of "stuff." She made this for large groups many times by doubling, tripling, etc. the pasta and then throwing in more "stuff." Also, I always make my own salad dressing for anything else. This recipe is the way my mom always makes it, and she always used Kraft dressing. No matter what dressing I have tried on this, it only tastes "right" to me with the Kraft dressing. If you prefer to make your own dressing or use another bottled brand, and you were not raised on my mother's antipasto salad, use what you like!

Ingredients

1 lb small shell pasta
1 green bell pepper, cut into small pieces
1 small red onion, diced
1 large tomatoes, cut in 1/2 cubes
1/4 lb pepperoni, cut in 1/4 cubes
1/4 lb genoa salami, cut in 1/4 cubes
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, cut in 1/4 cubes
8 ounces black olives, drained and sliced
8 ounces green olives, drained and sliced
8 ounces Italian dressing (Kraft House brand)
dried oregano, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
parmesan cheese, grated, to taste
canned artichoke heart (optional)
pepperoncini pepper (optional)

Steps:

Prepare pasta as directed on box.
Meanwhile, cut remaining ingredients.
Drain pasta and rinse with cold water to cool (you do not want mozzarella cheese to melt; you want it to remain in cubes).
Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
If you make the salad a day in advance, the flavors will blend, but it soaks up the dressing and you may need to add more before serving.
