Antipasto ingredients are sliced and diced to make this substantial salad. I like to buy sliced meat from the deli and chop it all up so you can get a bit of everything in each bite. —Kim Molina, Duarte, California

Keeping Lettuce FreshTo store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

it's not too many ingredients at all... it is "antipasto" in a bowl... and then there is the "dressing" ingredients included... goodness! well worth the bit of time to produce a wonderful flavor taste! I'm in... and it will accompany me to potlucks and picnics all year long! thank you for sharing!!

Great recipe...and to those miserable people that are looking for company, the mind perceives only what it can comprehend...

I gotta say, I'm Italian and never once has it occurred to me to chop up all the ingredients . . . but I can't WAIT to try this! With a loaf of crunchy Italian bread . . . yum!

I agree with toothfairylyn. It is so annoying for people to rate a recipe when 1)they don't make it according to the specifications of the printed recipe; 2)they complain about how there is too much fatty ingredients and calories; and 3) they make remarks before they even try the recipe. This is a site for people to try new recipes..simply as that!

Still too cold to make salads for the main course. Sounds delicious and easy to make. Will probably make with a low cal dressing as watching the weight.

I have made something similar to this before..and it was delicious and well received! The nice thing about a recipe like this is you can make it your "own" by just switching up ingredients..but we like it just like this! Once again, I have to say I am really saddened and disgusted by "reviewers" such as canddy, who have not even made the recipe, but choose to leave a mean-spirited remark. (Simple solution to your comment: leave some of the ingredients out!) If someone changes up a recipe and tells us what they did, fine..but when you haven't even tried it..PLEASE pick some other site to leave your "Debbie Downer" remarks. I always wonder how these reviewers would feel if they same thing happened to them?

I thought this recipe was great! I loved the variety of meats and also the suggestion to add mozarella cheese. Also, romaine lettuce is much crisper and lasts longer.
