Salad

One of our favorite salads! I make a batch for our lunches for the week and we love the tangy, spicy, creamy dressing.

I decided to try this salad tonight and it did not disappoint.

Let me start by saying the salad was delish.
Here is my only complaint, in this (and mostly all of your) recipe, you seem to seriously fudge on the times. I'm sure it seems better to trick the reader into thinking it can be "done" in 15 minutes. But seriously, hit the timer, collect all the ingredients, make the dressing, shred the lettuce and Brussels sprouts, cut all the meat and cheese slices, halve the tomatoes, mix together., hit the timer.... way more than 15 minutes.
Step 2 "In a large mixing bowl, add all of the "prepared" salad ingredients." So "prepping" all the ingredients is not counted in the "prep" time?
I'm sure making everything sound quick and easy "sells" hit and email subscriptions, but when I'm making dinner for my wife and we want to eat at 6, it would help if the recipe I start at five doesn't take until 7 to complete.
PS I was in restaurants for 23 years, so I am good with a knife and cooking, I feel sorry for the novice cook who may be trying your recipes out for the first time.
Feel free to respond back to my email, I curious if you feel my comments were valid or not.

LOVE this recipe.  Next time I will double the amount of cherry tomatoes, as there didn't seem to be enough to go around.  I also cut the salami down to 8 ounces and added 4 ounces of mortadella for a bit more variety.  Very tasty.

This salad was DELICIOUS!  Perfect for keto!!  I am definitely putting that amazing dressing in my salad dressing repertoire!  Like others, I kept the dressing separate from the salad as I am making several meals out of this bowl.  Can't wait to try your other salad! Thank you! ❤️

So easy and delicious!!!  This is going to be my lunch for the next week and I will add the dressing just before eating it.

This recipe is crazy good! What a great idea, a breadless sub! I added some mortadella to the salad, and some minced cherry peppers to the dressing. I also drizzled a thin ribbon of Italian fig balsamic to the salad before dressing it. Also, it helps to pick through the shaved brussel sprouts to take out the hard stem pieces. Fantastic!

This grinder salad is a deconstructed version of the classic sandwich, made with lettuce, brussels sprouts, salami, ham, provolone, and fresh veggies. It’s all coated in a creamy, savory dressing that you won’t be able to get enough of!

You are the best, great recipes, sometimes I change a tiny bit, but love the vegan recipes. And I make  your easy spaghetti with spinach etc. every week.

I love your chopped salad which I do make in the warmer weather but your dressing are brilliant should a variety, thank you.

I enjoyed this salad and was happy to learn about how green onions are not so overpowering.   I had always used  regular   onions before, just out of habit.  Also, I had usually used beefsteak tomatoes, but I discovered that the cherry tomatoes are better because the other tomatoes can make a salad too watery.   It was delicious and the information provided in the recipe was helpful.   Thank you.

The chopped salad was excellent!  I used shredded mozzarella cheese because that was what I had on hand but the dressing was soooo delicious with this salad. My husband really enjoyed. Thank you

I have been to your site countless times for a recipe because I enjoy your recipes SO much!  Thank you for all the many happy people I have made meals for, using your recipes. I admire your hard work and talent and appreciate that you have shared your success with everyone.  You remain my go-to for good food and easy to make meals.  Thanks again for all you do to help others.  Melinda

The Chopped Antipasto Salad is salty, creamy, crunchy, and filled with textures and color. It&#039;s enveloped with a simple, naturally sweet balsamic dressing that perfectly balances the flavors.

Chopped Antipasto Salad

Marinated mozzarella balls (the small Ciligiene size)

Calabrese salami (sliced thin)

Capocollo (sliced thin)

Prosciutto (sliced thin)

Red cherry peppers (sliced thin)

marinated artichokes (grilled)

Olives, Italian (whole, pitted)

Italian giardiniera (chopped)

Roasted red peppers

Pan Roasted mushrooms (recipe below) (quartered or marinated mushrooms

Balsamic grilled vegetables (cubed)

Romaine lettuce (washed, dried and sliced thin)

tomatoes (sliced in half)

basil (sliced thin or torn into small pieces)

Parmesan cheese (freshly shredded)

Good Balsamic vinegar

Good extra virgin olive oil

Dijon mustard

Italian herbs (of dried)

Garlic powder

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Chop ingredients to about 1 inch in size.

Slice meats, cheeses, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and romaine thinly.

The meats and cheeses can be rolled up and then sliced to create "ribbons" of meats and cheeses.

The cherry peppers, artichokes, and giardiniera can be chopped lengthwise.

Mushrooms should be quartered, and balsamic grilled vegetables should be cubed. (pan-roasted mushroom recipe below)

Fresh basil can be rolled into a cylindrical shape and sliced into ribbons or chiffonade.

Fresh tomatoes should be halved.

Parmesan cheese should be freshly shredded. I suggest using a fine shred for the Parmesan cheese.

Mozzarella balls do not have to be sliced, but if you use larger-sized fresh Mozzarella, tear it into smaller bite-sized pieces.

Once all the ingredients are prepared, add them to a large bowl.

In a small bowl, add the vinegar, mustard, dried herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Use a small whisk to thoroughly combine the Dijon mustard with the vinegar.

Finally, slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is  emulsified. Adjust seasoning as needed.

This is just enough to dress the salad and bring all the flavors together.

Add half of the Balsamic dressing to the bowl with the chopped salad ingredients.

Toss gently and adjust the dressing as needed.

Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette

Saute 8 ounces of cleaned mushrooms with one clove of sliced garlic. Add oil to a pan, add mushrooms and sauté. Second, add 1/4 cup of dry white wine or water and cook until wine or water evaporates. Add extra virgin olive oil as needed. Pan roast for about 10 more minutes until tender. Remove from heat. Serve these pan-roasted mushrooms warm or at room temperature.

Optional: Pan-roasted mushrooms

This is a simple and delicious salad with an extraordinary array of colors,textures and flavors.
An easy to follow recipe makes this dish easy for anyone to prepare.
