Everyone likes Italian salad, right?įor my dairy-free friends, feel free to sub out the provolone cheese. It’s also the perfect crowd-pleasing dish to take to potlucks and cookouts this summer. It’s hearty enough to be eaten on it’s own for a meal, perhaps paired with a simple green salad or grilled vegetables. While I’m sans-meat these days, I love the effortless vibe that antipasta platters create and wanted a similar feel to this salad. My mom would make them all the time when we had guests over, a simple dinner of cheese, meats, pickled vegetables and wine for the grown-ups. Growing up in my house, summers were filled with antipasta platters. In fact, if you save this recipe and throw in a little grated parmesan cheese, you’ll have a version similar to Olive Garden’s dressing. This salad dressing is one of my favorites, a step up from basic oil and vinegar. If you can’t find peppadew peppers, I think sliced pepperoncini would be a great choice instead.Įverything gets tossed together in a tangy Italian dressing, packed with lots of herbs and a little bit of sugar to offset the vinegar and lemon juice. Once you start, it’s really, really hard to stop. I buy 4-5 jars at a time from Trader Joe’s and have found that they go well with just about anything savory. I’ve been on a major peppadew salad kick for months now, topping them on everything from charred broccoli sandwiches to pizza. If you like the ingredient, chances are you’ll like it in the salad. I prefer this balance of briny, sweet and salty, but it’s up to you. Like most my recipes, this one is easily customizable to whatever ingredients you want to throw in.
Tangy, pickled and chewy, it’s the perfect salad to take with you to any casual gathering. It’s bright, loaded with vegetables and tastes just like my favorite Italian deli salads. I like just enough creaminess to hold everything together but will turn my nose up at any blobs. Why is it that I dislike mayo on most sandwiches but love the flavor in pasta and potato salads?Īnyways, this salad has none of that. Typically, I go for the mayo-based versions, which is funny because I’m not a huge mayo fan. Enter this recipe for a chopped Italian pasta salad!
GISTO PIZZA PEPPADEW SALAD UPDATE
Our recommendation: Enjoy Peppadews ($4.99 for a 14-ounce jar) raw on antipasto platters and in salads, as well as in cooked dishes where they can maintain their identity, such as pizza.Since summer is right around the corner, I felt like it was time to update my pasta salad collection. But in a cooked dish such as chicken Scarpariello-a spicy Italian recipe made with sausage, peppers, and onions-the subtleties of the Peppadews got lost. When we compared hot Peppadews with hot cherry peppers, the biggest difference was the pronounced sweetness of the Peppadews, which made them the favorite of our testers. While a comparison to these unusual peppers is hard to make, their closest competitor might be the pickled cherry pepper. Today, Peppadews are available in mild and hot varieties (the heat is adjusted by adding more or fewer dried, ground seeds to the pickling liquid), as well as in a new yellow Goldew variety, which has less heat. To capitalize on their spicy flavor profile, he pickled the peppers in a simple sugar and vinegar mixture. His first bite of the pepper delivered a significant shot of heat. The Juanita plant was reportedly discovered in 1993 by Johannes Steenkamp, who found it growing in the garden of his vacation home in South Africa. Peppadew is the brand name for the pickled grape-size red pepper known as Juanita.
