Delicious Summer Salads

Inspired by one of my favorite restaurants, this salad is a spin off your classic antipasto. 


My favorite kind of lettuce will always be romaine. I do however enjoy the classic iceburg, there is virtually no nutritional value in the leaves. For this salad you can use whatever type of lettuce you would like. Although the toppings are based off of a "if you like it use more" idea, I put together a recipe for a suggested serving for each topping.


These are the portions based on weight.

Spring Mix 1oz
Romaine 2.75oz
Pepperoni 16slices/1.25oz
Red Pepper 1oz
Artichoke 1.25oz
Mushroom .75oz
Ham .75oz
Green Olive .5oz
Mozzarella .75oz


The best way to enjoy this salad is topped with sea salt and crushed black pepper and balsamic vinegar and olive oil! Don't skip on the olive oil...it helps to burn fat cells in your stomach!
