Notes
- I like to chop all the meat and cheese the night before and store them in separate containers. This makes throwing the salad together super quick when you're ready to eat!
- Don't dice your ingredients too small. Aim for roughly ½-inch pieces for the meats and cheese.
- Mix up the meat to suit your preferences. Ham, turkey, or prosciutto all work well in this salad.
- I prefer red wine vinegar for its classic Italian flavor, but white vinegar or apple cider vinegar work too.
- While romaine gives you that perfect crunch, you can definitely use iceberg lettuce or a spring mix.
- You can always use a bottled creamy Italian salad dressing as a shortcut
