Keto Antipasto Salad Ingredients
Salad: this recipe uses a leaf salad base. You can use whatever greens you prefer such as spinach, kale, romaine or a mixture. I used freshly chopped romaine because I love the crunch!
Other Vegetables and Herbs: fresh tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil
Canned Goods: Olives, green, black or Kalamata olives. You will also need pepperoncini peppers and artichokes.
Cured Meats: such as salami, prosciutto, capocollo, or pepperoni
Cheese: fresh mozzarella pearls, or fresh mozzarella slices. Smoked gouda, Parmesan or Asiago would also work well.
Here's how to make a delicious homemade Italian Dressing.
For this dressing you will combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and minced garlic in a small jar. Simply secure the lid and shake well! If you prefer your dressings a little sweeter add about 1 teaspoon of Golden Monkfruit (if keto, if not you can add honey) at a time until it reaches your desired sweetness.
Tips for the best antipasto salad
Pat any high moisture ingredients such as artichokes or peppers dry if meal prepping. This will help prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
Use a mixture of cured meats for an authentic flavor.
Dress the salad just before serving.
If you cannot find fresh mozzarella pearls use freshly sliced mozzarella instead of bagged, shredded mozzarella for the best flavor.
