Instructions
1-First Step: Prep your mise en place. Grab a large bowl. Chop 3 cups romaine into bite-sized pieces. Halve 1/2 cup green olives and 1/2 cup black olives. Halve 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes. Chop 1/4 cup roasted red peppers. Cube 8 ounces Genoa salami and 8 ounces provolone cheese. Drain and quarter 1 13-ounce can artichoke hearts if needed. Measure 1/2 cup mini pepperoni and 1/2 cup mozzarella pearls.
2-Second Step: Assemble the salad base. Dump everything into the big bowl: romaine, green olives, black olives, cherry tomatoes, mini pepperoni, roasted red peppers, salami, mozzarella pearls, artichoke hearts, and provolone. Gently toss to mix. Don’t dress yet!
3-Third Step: Whip up the lemon dressing. In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Taste it! Add a pinch of salt if needed.
4-Fourth Step: Dress and toss. Pour dressing over the salad. Toss everything to coat evenly. Use tongs or clean hands for best mix.
5-Final Step: Serve immediately. Plate it up family-style or in bowls. Garnish with extra Italian seasoning if you want.
