Antipasto Summer Lettuce Wraps Recipes

SUMMER LETTUCE WRAPS WITH SOPRESSATA, MOZZARELLA AND OLIVES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the mozzarella, sopressata, cherry tomatoes, olives, roasted red pepper and pepperoncini. Toss the salad mixture with the Red Wine Vinaigrette.
• Season with salt and pepper. Let this marinate for 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve the lettuce cups alongside the antipasto salad. Be sure to use a slotted spoon when serving to drain off any excess marinade, so the lettuce doesn't get soggy.
• For the vinaigrette: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey and mustard. Once combined, slowly add olive oil in steady stream while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.
