Antipasto Salad with Garlic Dressing

If you love marinated artichokes you'll love this salad. Although I mixed the first four ingredients ahead of time then marinated them refrigerated in the dressing for a hour or two. That way all flavors blended together. Then when I was ready to serve supper I just laid it on top of the lettuce leaves and sprinkled with the cheese. Also I cut a slit in each salami slice from the outer edge to the middle and passed one side over another to make a cone-like shape to place the whole ripe olives in. An excellent antipasta! Just what I was looking for.
