Italian Summer Salad [aka Robert Wagner’s Marinated Veggies Antipasto Salad]

Recipes

This past week, my husband tilled and planted our garden. It’s gotten plenty of water over the past few days with all the rain we’ve had!

If this year’s garden is anything close to how plentiful last year’s garden was, we’ll have enough to feed an army…or at least our small brigade.

Going through my box of family recipes, I found my grandmother’s recipe for Italian Summer Salad. This will be perfect for when the peppers are harvested.

My grandmother found this recipe about 20 years ago in our local newspaper and it was originally named Robert Wagner’s Marinated Antipasto Salad.

With it’s blend of fresh and marinated vegetables with oregano, basil and mozzarella cheese, Italian Summer Salad seems more fitting.

    this looks yummy and I am going to date myself here but Robert Wagner was married to Natalie Wood, it has always been up in the air as to whether he killed her or not. He was on a TV show in the 80’s called Hart to Hart.
