A person can never have too many salad recipes on hand for summer gatherings.  They are easy to make ahead of time and keep you out of the kitchen when friends are over. Win-win, right? And this Antipasto Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette is no exception. Packed with meat and veggies, and dressed in a tasty red wine vinaigrette; this salad is substantial enough for a light meal on its own or a great addition to a summer BBQ. 

After all, who doesn’t need a go-to vinaigrette in their back pocket for easy summertime meals? (And if you have some extra dressing, save it and make this Italian Party Sub.)

This Antipasto Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette is devoured by everyone, even those who aren’t salad fans. (Yes, it’s shocking those people exist!)  It has all of the good things that people love like pepperoni, tomatoes, olives, salami, and artichoke hearts while still having a little lettuce.  Simply pile the meat and veggies on top of a bed of Romaine leaves on the platter, drizzle with the red wine vinaigrette and voila – you have the perfect substantial summer salad!

Summer eating can’t get much easier or more delicious.

Make-ahead tip: Save on mess and time the day of your BBQ. Clean, chop and slice all of the ingredients the day before and assemble right before serving.

    I knew is was National Salad month, but not the vinegar deal. But I think that sounds logical. You know I read the title and thought Ho Hum. But I am going to have to take that back. This is a great salad!
    Lots of textures, colors and tastes—–yum. I tagged it for my recipe file.
