Terry's Antipasto Salad

Terry's Antipasto Salad!

When in the mood for something Italian to eat but different from the same old spaghetti and meatballs, try making an antipasto salad for a change of pace. This is traditionally an appetizer  but can definitely be used as a main course and makes a great dish for potluck dinners.
