Instructions
- Using a grinder or crucible, crush together the garlic, oregano, and salt until grainy paste forms. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the lemon juice and red wine vinegar. Once the salt dissolves, whisk in the olive oil.
- Add the chickpeas, red onion, provolone, salami, and pepperoni to the bowl and toss well with the dressing. Add the pepperoncini and toss once more.
- Add half of the lettuce and radicchio and carefully toss to coat, then add the remaining lettuce and radicchio and toss once more. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- I recommend a medium-to-large-sized head of lettuce for this salad.
- Serving size and nutrition is based on enjoying this salad as a full meal.
