Ingredients

Servings

For the vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons oregano dried, Italian
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the salad

  • 3 large romaine lettuce chopped, hearts
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halved
  • 1 medium red onion chopped
  • 1/4 pound genoa salami chopped, 1/4-inch thick sliced
  • 1/2 pound provolone cheese chopped, soft, 1/4-inch thick sliced
  • 1/4 cup black olives rinsed, pitted, and sliced, oil cured
  • 1/2 cup Pepperoncini peppers stems removed and chopped, Tuscan peppers
  • 1 ounce jar artichoke hearts drained and quartered, marinated
  • 1/4 cup basil chopped, leaves

Instructions

For the vinaigrette

  1. Whisk together all of the ingredients and set aside.

For the salad

  1. Remove and discard the outer rough leaves and core of the Romaine head. Chop into bite sized pieces.
  2. Place the chopped lettuce, olives, Tuscan peppers, red onion, salami, and provolone in a large salad bowl.
  3. Whisk the vinaigrette one more time, then pour half of it over the salad and toss to coat.
  4. Add the cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and basil on top. Serve the salad with the remaining vinaigrette on the table for anyone who would like more. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The cherry tomatoes will make the salad soggy and get crushed if added too early.
  • Start off by using some, but not all, of the dressing.  It's better to have an under dressed salad that can be added to, than a soggy one.
  • If you would like leftovers, do not dress the salad.
