What is antipasto?
Antipasto is an Italian appetizer typically consisting of cured meats, cheese, olives, pickled vegetables, anchovies, and more. Itโs the first course and a delicious one at that!
Antipasto, but make it better
For this recipe, weโre taking the components of antipasto, but making it better in salad form! If you know me, you know Iโm all about adding more veggies into my life, and this is the perfect example of how to do that.
Weโll take all the antipasto deliciousness – salami, pepperoni, olives, and then add loads of veggies along with it. Today weโre using lettuce, Organic Junoยฎ Bites Red Grape Tomatoes, red onion, and roasted red pepper.
But there is no limit! Have cucumber and bell peppers in your kitchen? Theyโd be a great addition as well!
Organic Junoยฎ Bites Red Grape Tomatoes
One of my favorite vegetables weโre adding in is Pure Flavorยฎ Organic Junoยฎ Bites Red Grape Tomatoes! These tomatoes are super juicy and delicious! Theyโre USDA Organic Certified and grown in a greenhouse, meaning no pesticides are used in the process of growing these tasty tomatoes.
They are the perfect bites to pop in your kiddos hands and enjoy as a snack. Theyโre also flavorful and fantastic in this recipe!

Antipasto salad with cheese
A typical antipasto dish includes cheese as well. Since weโre keeping this recipe dairy-free none is added.
However, if youโd like to include cheese mini fresh mozzarella balls would be a fantastic addition. As would sliced provolone and Havarti cheese. Make it your own and use what you have on hand.
