I understand the concept for the name but come on. Let's step back and think about it. Would you like for your host to tell you that you are being served garbage salad? Maybe, everything but the kitchen sink would imply a lot of ingredients.

Yummy looking salad. The only item that I would omit would be the olives. They are just a little too salty for me, but I guess in this salad they would have their place. So I guess, first time around, I will leave them in. I can always move them to the side. Thanks for the yummy salad with a not so yummy name.

An Iceberg lettuce and a Romaine seem redundant to me .Perhaps an Iceberg lettuce and a frisee would be more interesting.

REALLY, WHEN PEOPLE RATE THESE RECIPES, HOW ABOUT ONLY GIVING A RATING IF YOU'VE TRIED THE RECIPE???? THAT IS UNFAIR JUDGEMENT - JUST LIKE VOTING FOR THE PILLSBURY BAKE-OFF RECIPE ON FB - IT'S RIDICULOUS!!

To me, it's more of an Italian salad, not GARBAGE - BECAUSE, you're not using left overs that you may find in the fridge......

I make a very similar "salad" using pasta instead of the lettuces. Travels well for picnics.

Pepperoncini are spicy pickled salad peppers. They are available at Kroger and most other grocery stores in the aisle with the regular pickles. Hope that helps.

What is peperoncini, and where do I find it? I don't think I've ever seen it at Kroger's, and they are about the most exotic food store around except for the Asian Grocery that opened up last year. Somehow I don't think it would be found there. It sounds too Italian. Any help there?

Hi Dendy! You can find pepperoncini near the pickles in the grocery store. Most grocery stores should carry them, but we always recommend calling ahead to be sure!

I have been making this exact salad for quite sometime now. It's great to take to a potluck and much quicker than rolling/cuttin/prepping all the ingredients for beautiful platters. However, for fancier occasions, I will still do the antipasto platter. Use your own homemade Italian or vinaigrette dressing for an even fresher flavor!
