For Meatless Monday Week 3, Kamaal and I made a hearty, fresh Antipasto Chopped Salad! Quick, fresh and tasty, it's soooo good and so easy to make. It’s literally a meal all by itself or a great side dish for your favorite sandwich. Great for parties too. We use a perfect blend of fresh and marinated veggies with Yves® vegan salami and Daiya® vegan Monterey Jack Cheese.
