Antipasto Salad

1 lg Head of Lettuce , cut these into 8 wedges
2 stalks Fennel, trimmed and Quartered
1 (6oz.) riped olives, please drain these
1 cucumber , peeled and sliced thin ( I use English Cucumber they are wrapped in plastic in your produce section)
1/4 lb. thin slices of provolone cheese
1/4 lb. thin slices salmi or you can use prosciutto ham, pepperoni
1 (2oz ) can rolled anchovy fillets

Arrange ingredients on a large platter or you can use a wooden cutting board which is great to use, serve with cruets of oil and wine vinegar. An antipasto salad usually contains at least six or seven diffrent items, this is where you can try diffrent things out on your guest and you also . I will list other things you can use on your antipasto salad and I hope you enjoy ..

Dry pork sausage
artichoke or celery hearts
fresh ham
Sliced or quartered hard cooked eggs
pickled cucumbers or mushrooms
peppers ( hot or mild)
tomatoe sections ( yellow,red, orange)
green olives (try diffrent kinds of olives abequinas, beldi, bitetto, cerignola, gaeta to name a few of my favorites)
