To make this salad, I started by chopping some romaine lettuce and placing it in a large bowl.

I added some sliced black olives, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, cubed ham and mini pepperonis to the bowl.

I also added some sliced pepperoncini peppers, provolone cheese, diced red bell peppers, red onions, quartered salami and torn basil leaves to the bowl.

I tossed all of the ingredients together well.

I poured some olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt and black pepper into a small mixing bowl.

I whisked the ingredients together well.

I drizzled the dressing over the salad and then tossed it well.

I sprinkled grated parmesan cheese over the salad.

Then the Italian deli meat salad was ready to serve.

This delightful medley of fresh ingredients captures the essence of a classic Italian sub sandwich in a refreshing salad form.

Crisp lettuce serves as the perfect base, adorned with a symphony of savory meats including salami, spicy pepperoni, and flavorful ham.

Tangy provolone cheese adds a creamy richness, complemented by juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, zesty red onions, and briny pepperoncini peppers.

All of this is tossed together in a robust Italian red wine vinegar dressing, marrying the flavors harmoniously for a satisfying and fulfilling meal.
