When it's too hot to cook, salad is of course the answer! This stunning salad is not only visually exciting, but it's very versatile and has a fantastic combination of flavors! 

Once you've mixed it all up, you literally have no idea what you're going to get next. Will it be mozzarella, olives and basil? Or artichoke, tomato and cheese?

How to Make a Low Carb Antipasto Salad

Start by adding some lettuce leaves to the base of a large serving bowl. Add some halved cherry tomatoes and drained marinated artichoke quarters.

Next, you need to get chopping! Chop salami, pepperoni and sliced provolone cheese into quarters, halves or wedges, depending on the size.

Add them to the bowl. As you can see I prefer to keep everything in separate areas for presentation.

After this add some black olives, pepperoncini or sweet cherry peppers, and some small mozzarella balls. The ones I used were called "pearls". Finish with finely sliced fresh basil leaves.

Present it to the table for everyone to admire - just look at those colors!

You can definitely prepare this fantastic salad in advance! Just make sure to keep it covered to prevent the cheese drying out.

To serve, use salad tongs to mix it together.

I served this with my homemade low carb Italian dressing - but let individuals add as much as they wanted rather than pour it over the whole salad.

And these ingredients are just the starting point! Here's some more low carb options:

• marinated or canned anchovies
• pickled vegetables (eg cauliflower)
• marinated mushrooms
• roasted red peppers
• radishes
• cooked low carb pasta
• nuts
• pickles
