The trick of this photograph is creating the antipasto in the first place. This was a family effort with prosciutto, sardines, anchovies, artichokes and every other delicious vegetable and hors d'ouevre that could be part of the salad. The antipasto was a holiday serving before escarole soup and ravioli. This meal was all inspired by my mom's cooking which was an ethnic, Italian delight. Garlic sauteing in its aromatic splendor; golden olive oil splashed on lettuce and tomatoes; red peppers contrasting with verdant romaine; mushrooms and radishes competing for space with hard boiled eggs and tuna. A culinary and visual delight. I hope that you enjoy the picture and will create one of these magic entrees soon.
