Nutrition Of Antipasto Salad

Antipasto salad can be a light, healthy meal by itself.


Antipasto salad is an Italian appetizer made with chunks of meat and vegetables drizzled with olive oil and vinegar. It's often presented on a platter, giving party or dinner guests a chance to assemble their own plate with their favorite ingredients, but antipasto salad can also be tossed together and served as prepared dish. The ingredients vary, but typically include greens, sliced tomatoes, olives, pickled peppers, beans and cubed deli meats and cheeses. You can measure the components in your version and come up with a customized nutritional value using a recipe nutrition calculator.


Instructions


1. Write down all the ingredients you used in your recipe.


2. Measure each component in cups as you assemble the salad. Write the total next to each ingredient.


3. Input each ingredient into a recipe nutrition calculator (see Resources) or add the caloric and nutrient values together.


4. Specify how many servings the appetizer makes and divide the totals for calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein and nutrients by the number of servings.
