Ingredients

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper (to taste)

Salad Ingredients

  • 8 oz Salami (chopped)
  • 8 oz Fresh mozzarella balls
  • 6 oz Prosciutto (chopped)
  • 2 cups Grape tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup Pepperoncini peppers (drained, chopped)
  • 1 14-oz can Artichoke hearts (drained, chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil (cut into ribbons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and emulsified. Tilt the bowl if needed to gather all ingredients together.
  2. Add the main ingredients: To the bowl with the dressing, add the chopped salami, fresh mozzarella balls, chopped prosciutto, halved grape tomatoes, chopped pepperoncini peppers, drained and chopped artichoke hearts, and Kalamata olives. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
  3. Finish with fresh basil: Just before serving, add the fresh basil ribbons to the salad and toss lightly. If preparing ahead, omit the basil during storage and add it fresh right before serving to preserve its bright flavor and color.

Notes

  • You can prepare the salad base without basil and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before adding the fresh basil and serving.
  • Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the salami and prosciutto, and consider adding marinated mushrooms or roasted red peppers.
  • This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature.
  • Use fresh quality mozzarella for the best texture and flavor.
