Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped hearts of romaine or spring greens (I like a mix of both.)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives or black olives
  • 1 cup mild giardiniera
  • 1 cup quartered marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini
  • 6 ounces provolone cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup baby mozzarella balls or ciliegine
  • 8 ounces salami, cubed
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni
  • Dijon Vinaigrette, about 1/4 cup or more to taste

Instructions

  • Mix. In a large serving bowl or platter, combine the romaine and/or spring greens, tomatoes, olives, giardiniera, artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, provolone, mozzarella, salami, and mini pepperoni. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve, up to 1 day.
  • Dress and serve. Just before serving, pour about 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette over the salad and toss. Taste and add more vinaigrette if needed, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a composed salad: Spread the lettuce on a serving platter and arrange the remaining ingredients in groups on top, similar to a Niçoise salad. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve without tossing.
  • To make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate the undressed salad for up to 1 day. Store the vinaigrette separately for up to 1 week and add it just before serving.
  • Use extra ingredients: Turn extra undressed meat, cheese, olives, and vegetables into antipasto skewers or an antipasto chicken sandwich.
  • Shop this recipe: Visit our shop for quality Mediterranean ingredients, including extra virgin olive oils and Greek Kalamata olives.
