How to Sserve Chicken Antipasto Salad For a Crowd:
If you’re planning to make a giant batch of this super easy and delicious salad for a party, you’re in luck – because it is such an easy, filling, and pretty salad to serve for a group.
I do have a couple tips and tricks to keeping everything perfectly pretty and delicious when taking this salad to-go, for picnics, parties, and more.
Separate wet and dry ingredients
Since this salad relies on a lot of antipasto ingredients (marinated olives, peppers, etc) – it is best to keep those ingredients from the lettuce/greens, chicken, and dry ingredients – or they will get mushy, soggy, or too-tart. I like to drain the olives, pepper strips, and
Keep meats separate
I like to chop and bag my chicken and pepperoni to bring to a party – they take on too much of the acidic, tart taste from the olives and pepper strips when together too long.
Keep Lettuce Separate
This one is the most important – lettuce and many greens are so temperamental you don’t want to add them into the mix too early – too much oil, acid, moisture, or heat will make it wilt. If you separate nothing else, keep greens separate until serving!
Crumble/grate your cheese fresh
If you don’t want to deal with the cheese at the party, simply crumble or shred it at home and keep it in a separate bag/container so it doesn’t get mushy and wet from the salad ingredients.
When you get to the party, toss everything that you prepped in a giant bowl, and serve! It will still be pretty, fresh, and super delicious.
