Hearty and Skinny Antipasto Main Course Salad Recipe
Salad meets antipasto in this colorful, bursting with flavor, main course salad. You’ll love all the different textures and taste sensations. This also works great as a side salad for a large gathering. I’ve made it much skinnier by substituting with reduced-fat salami instead of regular and using artichoke hearts packed in water, instead of oil. In addition, it’s chock full of veggies and tossed in a light dressing. This glorious salad has 236 calories and 10 grams of fat including, the dressing and cheese and 6 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. A full fat salad contains 445 calories and 30 grams of fat.
