Antipasto Salad from Gooseberry Patch

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"This is a flavorful make-ahead salad which can also double as antipasto if you serve it with toothpicks. Serve the salad with a slotted spoon. This is very easy to put together yet is a crowd-pleaser. Notice that you make this the day before to allow flavors to marry."
