• 1 (6-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
• 1 (7-ounce) jar roasted peppers, drained and cut into 1/2-inch strips
• 6 peperoncini
• 1 1/2 cups (about 20) extra-large pitted black olives, drained

Instructions

1. On a large platter, combine all the ingredients except the dressing.

Notes

If you'd rather, prepare individual plates of this antipasto and keep them chilled. Then drizzle each salad with dressing just before serving.
