Chopped Antipasto Salad with Creamy Greek Yogurt Dressing
This hearty salad has all of the flavor of an Italian sub with a fresh, creamy dressing!
Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- ¼ cup mayonaise
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1 tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- pinch red pepper flakes
For the Salad:
- 1 head green leaf lettuce (such as romaine)
- ¼ cup red onion (finely diced)
- ¼ cup greek peppers (pepperoncini-thinly sliced)
- 3 oz sliced provolone
- 2 oz Genoa salami
- 2 oz pepperoni
- 2 oz ham
Optional:
- tomatoes
- cucumber
- red bell pepper
Instructions
- Begin by making the dressing. Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk and store, covered, in refrigerator until ready to eat.
- Wash and dry your lettuce. Chop into small pieces. I like to make at least 2 vertical slices, then chop across. Finely dice red onion. Slice greek peppers into thin pieces. Chop up any other ingredients you choose to use. Add chopped ingredients to a large bowl (preferably one with a lid).
- Cut up all of the deli meat and cheese. There are several ways to make quick work of chopping thin slices. You can roll it up, then cut it lengthwise before cutting horizontally into smaller or pieces. You can also stack several slices together and cut them into strips, then cut the strips in to smaller pieces. Make sure to separate any large chunks that are stuck together, then add them to the bowl.
- When ready to serve, add dressing. Cover the bowl with the lid and shake ( or toss with serving spoons) until evenly coated. I like to serve this salad in a shallow, wide meal bowl. Yum!
