Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Drain artichoke hearts and pepperoncini thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from diluting the dressing.
Tear or halve large mozzarella balls so they're evenly distributed and easier to eat throughout the salad.
Toss salad gently 5 minutes before serving to let flavors meld without breaking delicate mozzarella or vegetables.
Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar—they're the foundation of this simple dish.

Substitutions

Pepperoncini peppers → roasted red peppers or banana peppers (changes heat level and tang)
Salami + Prosciutto → capicola, soppressata, or pancetta (maintains cured meat character)
Fresh mozzarella balls → fresh burrata or cubed provolone (shifts richness and texture)
Grape tomatoes → cherry tomatoes or heirloom tomato chunks (no flavor change, size adjustment only)
