American-Style Antipasto Salad

Source of Recipe
From "Scratch" by Maria Rodale

Recipe Introduction
"Yes, you can make a fancy gourmet antipasto, but sometimes - especially if you were raised in America - you just want an all-American one, with deli ham and provolone. This is great for parties, or for a Friday night when you get takeout pizza and want a salad to go with it. Everything here is optional based on your preferences."
List of Ingredients

◦ 1 head lettuce, leaves separated
◦ 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
◦ 1 cup roasted red peppers, store-bought or homemade
◦ 1 jar (11 ounces) marinated artichokes, halved
◦ � cup green or black olives
◦ 1 tomato, sliced
◦ 6 pepperoncini peppers
◦ 1 cup pickled cauliflower
◦ � cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
◦ 4 round slices provolone cheese
◦ 4 slices deli ham
◦ 12 slices hard salami

Italian Dressing:
◦ 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
◦ 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
◦ � teaspoon garlic powder
◦ � teaspoon onion powder
◦ � teaspoon dried oregano
◦ � teaspoon dried thyme
◦ 2 tablespoons finely grated Romano cheese
◦ Salt
Recipe
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Layer and decorate with the mozzarella, red peppers, artichokes, olives, tomato, pepperoncini peppers, pickled cauliflowers, and chopped parsley.

Top each slice of provolone with a slice of ham and three slices of salami. Roll up into a cigar shape and cut into three or four pieces. Add to the platter.

To make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, Romano, and salt to taste and mix with a fork to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the salad to serve.
