Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups Iceberg or Romaine Lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper, diced
  • 1 cup Cucumbers, sliced
  • ½ cup Pepperoncini/Banana Peppers, sliced
  • 6 ounces Deli Turkey, diced
  • 5 ounces Pepperoni, diced
  • 4 ounces Salami, diced
  • ⅓ cup Pepperoncini Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • Black Pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Kosher Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the pepperoncini juice, mayonnaise, honey, and black pepper. Taste and season with kosher salt or additional honey if needed.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, sliced cucumbers, sliced pepperoncini, diced turkey, pepperoni, and salami. Mix gently if serving immediately.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad. Using tongs, toss until everything is thoroughly coated and well combined.
  • Serve immediately or store the salad and dressing separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Enjoy it fresh within five days.

Notes

  • Make it ahead by prepping the veggies and meats in advance and store them separately.
  • The dressing can also be kept in the fridge, making meal assembly faster.
  • You can switch out the deli turkey for shredded rotisserie chicken for a different take on the salad.
