antipasto salad
Cold Italian starter
Antipasto salad is a composed salad featuring the ingredients typically found on an Italian antipasto platter—cured meats like salami and pepperoni, cheeses, olives, marinated vegetables, and pepperoncini—arranged over lettuce.
It transforms appetizer components into a main course: I ordered the antipasto salad for lunch.
