Simple Antipasto Salad (The Way My Mom Made It) - cooking recipe
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)
Preparation
-
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.
