Salad Ingredients
- 3 cups freshly chopped Romaine lettuce
- 2 ounces sliced turkey
- 1/2 ounce sliced salami
- 1/2 ounce sliced provolone cheese
- 1 Tablespoon banana peppers
- 1 Tablespoon sliced black olives
- 6 cherry tomato halves
Italian Dressing Ingredients
- 1 packet Good Seasonings Italian Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Assemble the Salad: Place the chopped romaine lettuce in a medium bowl. Layer the sliced turkey, salami, provolone cheese, banana peppers, sliced black olives, and cherry tomato halves evenly over the lettuce. Drizzle approximately one ounce of the prepared Italian dressing over the salad just before serving.
- Prepare the Homemade Italian Vinaigrette: Follow the instructions on the Good Seasonings Italian Dressing packet to combine the dressing base by mixing oil, water, and vinegar as directed. Once the base is prepared, add dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, and garlic powder to the mixture. Whisk well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Chill the Dressing: For best flavor, serve the vinaigrette immediately or cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend and intensify before using it on the salad.
Notes
- You can substitute salami with any other cured meat if desired.
- Adjust seasoning levels in the dressing according to your taste preference.
- The salad is best served fresh but can be prepped ahead by keeping dressing separate until ready to serve.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Optional: Add more vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers for extra crunch and nutrition.
