This has an array of wonderful vegetables, meats and cheeses. Served it on a platter, instead of in a salad bowl, and it makes a beautiful presentation. Add fresh baked Italian bread and some "vino"...you're meal is complete.

How To Make antipasto salad

  • 1
    The night before: *Layer 1 slice provolone, 1 slice salami, 1 slice ham. Roll up, and repeat for as many "roll-ups" as you'd like in your antipasto. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. *Or, just slice and spread around the top separately. I just think the spirals look pretty.
  • 2
    Wash all your lettuce and dry well. Roughly chop up and lay in your favorite platter or large dish. Spread all the other ingredients over the top. Slice the cheese & meat roll-ups into 1/2 pieces (like a spiral) and place over the top of the salad.
  • 3
    Just before serving, roast the pine nuts and sprinkle over the top of all.
