Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: chop 2 cups of romaine lettuce, halve cherry tomatoes to equal 1 cup, dice 1 medium cucumber, and slice 1 medium red bell pepper.
Drain and quarter the artichoke hearts and slice the kalamata olives if not already done. Add these to a large mixing bowl along with the prepared vegetables.
Add 1/2 cup of sliced roasted red peppers and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onion to the bowl.
Slice 4 ounces of salami into strips and tear 4 slices of prosciutto into pieces. Add these to the mixing bowl with the vegetables and olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to ensure everything is well-coated and evenly distributed.
Let the salad sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve the antipasto salad on its own or with crusty bread (ensure it's dairy-free) for a satisfying and delicious dairy-free meal.
