Antipasto Salad

[echoes]

...and Everything Italian!

I recently visited a true Italian place on a trip to Arizona. I ate the Antipasto salad, which was incredible...the prosutto and salami were wrapped with provolone, in pinwheels. Had to post a recipie...The Italian sub I saw looked really good as well, and had good reviews.

If anyone is ever in the Scottsdale area, I highly recomend Guido's.

Want a real treat? Wrap thinly sliced prosciutto around ripe cantelope or melon. Molto squisito!

Also, here's another Italina App that is easy to make and tastes great:

Italian Sausage and Tomato Kabobs

4 mild Italian sausage, (about 1 pound)
32 x 1 inch cubes Italian bread
24 cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tbsp grated cheese

Directions:
*Prick sausages all over; place in microwaveable dish. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave at High until firm, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly; cut into quarters
*Onto each of 8 metal skewers, alternately thread 4 bread cubes, 3 tomatoes and 2 sausage pieces.
*In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper; brush some over kabobs.
*Place kabobs on greased grill over medium-high heat; brush with some of the oil mixture. Close lid and cook, turning and basting twice with remaining oil mixture, until sausage is browned and bread is crisp, about 8 minutes.
*Serve sprinkled with cheese.
