Antipasto Tray

We had this at the graduation party of a dear friend not too long ago.  It can be served alone or with a baguette.  The easiest way to cut this is with a pizza cutter.  Also if you are tranporting this somewhere, use less Italian dressing that is called for so that it doesn't get soggy.  I am thinking of taking this to my sister's for the 4th of July.

Meats
1/4 lb. roast beef
1/4 lb. ham
1/4 lb. salami
1/4 lb. capacola
1/4 lb. pepperoni
1/4 lb. proscuitto

Cheeses
1/2 lb. provolone
1/2 lb. mozzarella
Grated Parmesan

lettuce (shredded)
Italian dressing
oregano
blue cheese
roasted red peppers
artichoke hearts

Layer 1

On a large tray, put a layer of lettuce and drizzle some Italian dressing.  Layer the roast beef and ham, then provolone leaving some for the top layer.  Sprinkle with oregano and blue cheese.  Then add a layer of drained roasted red peppers.

Layer 2

Put a layer of lettuce and drizzle with Italian dressing.  Layer the salami then the capacola then mozzarella leaving some for the top layer.  Sprinkle with oregano and blue cheese.  Then add a layer of artichoke hearts, drained.
