Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 2 romaine lettuce hearts (about 6 cups, chopped)
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes (quartered)
  • ½ cup banana pepper rings
  • 2 oz sliced black olives (drained)
  • 3 oz Genoa salami (torn)
  • 3 oz Capicola (torn)
  • 4 oz turkey breast (torn)
  • 4 oz Provolone cheese (shredded)

For The Grinder Salad Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped romaine lettuce in a large mixing bowl.
  • For the dressing, add all ingredients to a large mason jar and shake very well until combined. Store in the fridge for a few hours before serving, or serve immediately over your salad. Shake well before serving.
  • Pour some of the grinder salad dressing over the lettuce mixture and toss until combined.
  • Place the crunchy lettuce mixture onto a platter and set it aside.
  • Next, prep the deli meats. Roll each piece then thinly slice it into strips until all of the meat is sliced. Pile it on the lettuce.
  • Put the shredded provolone cheese on top of the deli meats.
  • Use a serrated knife and thinly slice the cherry tomatoes and layer on the sides of the lettuce mixture, along with the banana peppers and olives.
  • Add some extra salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes over the deli meats and cheese as a garnish.
  • Pour the remaining delicious creamy dressing over the salad. You can toss the entire salad or serve layered and enjoy!
