Instructions
Begin by preparing the Italian Vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, black olives, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, provolone cheese, salami, and pepperoni.
Drizzle the Italian Vinaigrette over the salad, and gently toss to ensure all the ingredients are well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, either as a main dish or as a satisfying appetizer.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, omit the salami and pepperoni and add extra cheese or tofu.The Italian Vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.If you're watching your sodium intake, be mindful of the cured meats and olives, as they can be quite salty.
