1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Italian Vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
Place the chopped Romaine lettuce in a large bowl.
Add the cooked chicken or turkey, salami or pepperoni, provolone cheese, and fresh mozzarella cheese to the bowl.
Toss in the cherry tomatoes, black olives, pepperoncini peppers, and red onion.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the salad ingredients.
Pour the Italian Vinaigrette dressing over everything.

Notes
You can substitute any cured meat you prefer, like mortadella or capicola.
If you skip the meat, add a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans for extra protein.
Adjust the amount of pepperoncini to match your preferred spice level.
This salad holds up well in the refrigerator for a day if you prepare the dressing separately.
