How to Make an Italian Antipasto Salad
Making salads is not really a hard thing. The best thing about making salads is that you do not necessarily have to be a great cook in order to whip up a delightfully tasty salad. Each salad has a different feel to it and the same goes for the very delicious Italian Antipasto Salad. However, before going towards the recipe, make sure that you get yourself a nice bottle of wine and a fresh loaf of Italian bread as without these two things, you might not enjoy eating your salad that much. Try picking up two nice bottles of the Castello D’Albola Chianto Classico. However, you can try any wine with this salad.
The beauty of Italian food is that it should sing and your salad should have this sing song look about it in order to give it that peculiar Italian feel. Many famous chefs in Italy say that preparing any kind of food and salad under the influence of wine can be a really rewarding experience so it might be better if you have a sip or two of the vine that you purchased.
