Ingredients
  

  • Greens: 5 cups mixed romaine and baby spinach, chopped
  • Salami: 6 ounces, sliced or cut into strips
  • Prosciutto or pepperoni: 3 ounces, torn or sliced
  • Provolone: 4 ounces, cut into small cubes (or fresh mozzarella balls, halved)
  • Olives: 1 cup mixed olives, pitted and halved (Kalamata, Castelvetrano, or black olives)
  • Artichoke hearts: 1 cup, quartered and well-drained (preferably marinated)
  • Roasted red peppers: 1 cup, sliced
  • Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved (optional, adds a few carbs)
  • Red onion: 1/4 small, thinly sliced
  • Pepperoncini: 1/2 cup, sliced (adjust to heat preference)
  • Fresh herbs: 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or basil
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Make the dressing: In a small jar, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Seal and shake until emulsified. Taste and adjust salt or vinegar as needed.
  2. Prep the greens: Rinse and dry the romaine and spinach well. Chop into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl.
  3. Chop the mix-ins: Slice the salami and prosciutto, cube the provolone, halve the olives and tomatoes, slice the red onion and pepperoncini, and drain the artichokes and roasted peppers.
  4. Layer the salad: Add meats, cheeses, olives, artichokes, peppers, tomatoes (if using), onion, and herbs on top of the greens.
  5. Toss with dressing: Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the salad. Toss gently until everything is lightly coated. Add more dressing if needed.
  6. Taste and finish: Adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt, a squeeze of lemon, or extra herbs if you like. Serve right away.
