Game Day Antipasto Salad

Serves: 6–8 | Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 0 min

Ingredients

• Chopped romaine lettuce

• Marinated artichokes, drained

• Olives (any variety you like)

• Chopped red onion

• Diced tomato

• Sliced salami

• Mozzarella cheese balls

• 1 can chickpeas, drained

For the Dressing:

• 1 part red wine vinegar

• 3 parts extra virgin olive oil

• 1 scoop Dijon mustard

• Italian seasoning, to taste

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Start with a generous bed of chopped romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl.

2. Arrange the artichokes, olives, red onion, tomato, salami, mozzarella balls, and chickpeas in sections over the lettuce for a beautiful presentation.

3. In a separate bowl or jar, combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk well or blend with an immersion blender until fully emulsified.

4. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad, then toss everything together right before serving for maximum flavor and texture.

Erin’s Tip: This is my go-to for game day because it feels hearty but fresh, and it’s always a hit with a crowd! You can prep the salad and dressing separately ahead of time, then toss it right before kickoff.
