ANTIPASTI SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain well, pat dry, and put in a serving bowl.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and, with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Put the paste in a bowl and add the orange zest, vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, to taste. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
• Using a handheld mandoline or a knife, cut the fennel lengthwise into long, thin slices. Add to the onion and toss with the chickpeas, peppers, artichoke hearts, arugula, parsley, and dressing. Scatter the olives and shave the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top.

ANTIPASTO SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Place the spinach and arugula in a large bowl. In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk 2 tablespoons of the olive brine with the mustard, then drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify. Taste and season with salt and pepper (you might not need salt since the olive brine is salty already). Toss the greens with half of the dressing and transfer to a large shallow serving bowl. Top with the olives, mozzarella, Parmesan, artichokes, peppers, tomatoes, pear and salami. Wrap the prosciutto around the breadsticks and place them on top. Add a few drizzles of balsamic glaze (I hone in on the pear and tomatoes), then drizzle on the remaining dressing and sprinkle on the basil. Serve and enjoy!
