Ingredients

For the dressing:
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • lemon juice of half
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic finely minced or grated, clove
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the salad:
  • 9 ounces romaine lettuce washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 Roma tomato seeds removed, diced, aka plum tomato
  • 1 cucumber peeled and diced
  • ½ red onion sliced into thin half moons, medium
  • ¾ cup kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 4 ounces feta cheese diced
  • 12 Pepperoncini
  • 8 ounces salami diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small jar. Shake until well blended. Set it aside for now.
  2. I used the pre-prepped Romaine lettuce from the grocery store as a shortcut. If you're using fresh, you'll need to wash, dry, and cut the Romaine into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Dice the tomatoes, and peel and dice the cucumber.
  4. Slice the red onion into very thin, half-moon shapes and cut the Kalamata olives in half.
  5. Cut the salami into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Place all the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
  7. Shake the dressing again and pour over as much as you'd like to coat the salad. Toss to combine.

  • The dressing will keep very well for up to a week in an airtight jar or bottle.
  • Serves 2 as a main course; 4-6 as a side or starter.
