Try this easy paleo antipasto salad for a quick weeknight dinner. Start to finish it takes just a few minutes—including the simple homemade Italian dressing.
This is one of my favorite no-cook weeknight meals. A little slicing and a quick shake of the dressing ingredients, and dinner is ready. Antipasto salad is hearty and full of flavor – perfect when you don't want to turn on the stove.
I like to use prosciutto and salami or pepperoni. And at least three different vegetables. Just be sure to read the labels and look for meats that have clean ingredients. I found a prosciutto with just pork and salt, and a pepperoni with just a few ingredients. Check the labels for your vegetables as well. The artichokes, peppers, and olives should be packed in olive oil or vinegar with no additives.

What brand of salami or pepperoni do you use on Whole30? I’ve never seen a compliant one.
They are definitely harder to find, but those imported from Italy tend to have fewer additives. I found one at Wegmans but I don’t remember the brand.
