Before you begin, take every Italian food you love, pile it on a plate of romaine, drizzle on your favorite vinaigrette and you have an Antipasto salad! Okay, so, maybe that isn’t exactly how it works, but if you love a great plate of antipasto, this Italian Antipasto Salad from Cooking on the Front Burner is everything you could ever want! It will make you feel like you stole the entire antipasto party platter from the table and said “No! Questo è mio!” [No! This is mine!]
Quick Tip: Live a little Mommy! Make the salad, plop on the bed to watch your favorite romantic comedy, and don’t share! That’s what I’m planning to do! Shhhhhh, dont’ tell the kids!
Photo Credit: EASY Fajita Salad Recipe by I Heart NaptimeNear my home is a Mexican restaurant that gives off the most aromatic smell when you walk by. It makes me crave fajitas from the moment I get even the smallest whiff of it! Fajitas are the only meal I eat in restaurants that I cannot recreate at home. No matter how many times I try, I cannot replicate an authentic fajita no matter what I do! It makes me so sad, but I Heart Naptime has given me a little hope with her Easy Fajita Salad Recipe. She recommends rubbing the seasoning directly onto the chicken (light bulb – why haven’t I thought of that?). Read her delicious recipe, give it a try, and let me know how your Easy Fajita Salad turns out!
