When we were in Myrtle Beach over the summer we went to dinner at King’s Famous Pizza {thanks Yelp!} one evening. We ordered the antipasto salad and I vowed right then and there that this was something that I was going to recreate at home. Their house dressing was amazing ~ they had obviously gotten requests from customers to buy it because they had it all bottled up and ready for sale! The best way to explain it is a cross between Italian and honey mustard ~ tangy and sweet, but not too sweet.
Last night I threw together this antipasto salad and it was quite satisfying…
Romaine, chopped
Light Salami, diced {about 10 slices ~ I used Gallo}
Lowfat mozzarella, shredded {1/2-3/4 cup}
Garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained {about 3/4 can}
Tomato, seeded and chopped
Red onion, chopped/minced
Pepperoncinis, chopped {about 6-8}
*Toss with Bernstein’s Cheese Fantastico dressing*
{light dressing that doesn’t taste light!}
Other possible add-ins: bell pepper, red pepper, cucumber, black olives, artichoke hearts or chopped giardiniera {Italian style pickled vegetables}. You could also substitute pepperoni or other Italian meats for the salami. Next time I’ll add in just a bit of honey mustard and try to recreate King’s house dressing.
Enjoy!
I love antipasto salad. We always order it at restaurants.
YUM. That sounds so good. I think it will be my lunch! I have all the ingredients and no one is fond of garbanzos in this house but ME! xoxo
this looks so yummy minus the red onions who are not my friend.
that dressing looks amazing… anything with cheese in the name has to be wonderful!
Yum!! This looks great, I haven’t tried the cheese fantastico dressing before, now I must! You always have yummy recipes! 🙂
Thank you! This is such a great way to share tried and true recipes…salads especially can get redundant so this Linky is fantastic. Again, thanks for hosting! Have a fabulous weekend! XO
