Instructions
Prep All Ingredients
Finely chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large wide bowl. Dice the salami and provolone into small even pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion and pepperoncini.
Make the Italian Dressing
In a small jar or bowl whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combine the Bowl
Add the diced salami, provolone, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and pepperoncini to the chopped romaine. Toss everything together so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Dress and Toss
Pour the dressing over the chopped salad and toss vigorously to coat every ingredient evenly. The lettuce should be well dressed but not swimming in liquid.
Serve Immediately
Divide the chopped Italian bowl into individual serving dishes. Serve right away for the best texture. Optionally top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes.
