Salad Base

Meats and Cheese

Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Chop the Romaine Lettuce

    Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water. Remove any wilted or damaged leaves. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Add the halved tomatoes to the bowl with the chopped lettuce.

Meat and Cheese Assembly

  1. 3

    Slice the Meats and Cheese

    Using a sharp knife, slice the provolone cheese, salami, capicola, and prosciuttini into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Add these to the bowl with the lettuce and tomatoes.

Final Assembly

  1. 4

    Add Olives and Dressing

    Drain the black olives and slice them in half if desired. Add the sliced olives to the salad mixture. Pour the red wine vinaigrette over the top.

  2. 5

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss all ingredients together in the bowl to ensure that the dressing coats the lettuce, meats, and other ingredients evenly.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the chopped salad to a serving tray or bowl. You can garnish with additional olives or a sprinkle of Italian herbs if desired. Enjoy!
