Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I’m pretty sure that’s the way to a woman’s heart, too. This Antipasto Salad includes a superfood for your heart, Dole European Salad blend. This specially created blend contains vitamin C, folate, and antioxidant phytonutrients, which help maintain a healthy heart. And if that doesn’t get your heart thumping, it will when you toss it with artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, ripe olives, and hard salami. Dress it all with ?Creamy Italian dressing? and garnish it with chards of Parmesan cheese. This salad is the perfect addition to your favorite pizza or pasta dish, and hearty enough to make a meal on it’s own. Classic antipasto ingredients like artichoke hearts and roasted peppers go great with an Italian white wine like a Pinot Grigio. Here’s to your heart, and heart healthy foods.
