Ingredients
- 4 ounces deli-sliced Genoa salami
- 4 ounces deli-sliced prosciutto
- 4 ounces deli-sliced smoked turkey
- 4 ounces deli-sliced pepperoni
- 4 ounces provolone
- 1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes
- 1 cup jarred banana pepper rings
- 1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup Kardea’s Homemade Italian Dressing, recipe follows
- 24 slider buns, split
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- On a large cutting board, layer the deli meats and cheese, then give them a rough chop; you want bite-sized pieces of every item. Add on top the tomatoes, banana peppers, lettuce and red onion and chop the whole mixture together into bite-size pieces.
- In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the Italian Dressing and mix together. Add the chopped ingredients to the bowl with the Dressing and toss together until everything is thoroughly coated.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup mixture into each slider bun and serve.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the lemon juice and vinegar and whisk together. While continuously whisking, stream in the olive oil until the vinaigrette becomes a homogenous mixture. Add the Parmesan, mustard, salt, sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, then whisk until the dressing comes together. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Reviews
My family was “wowed” they all absolutely loved it! It was a trial run to see if I should make this for the family reunion… it was unanimously voted YES!
I made this and quickly realized that it had way too much lemon juice in it. Odd, because I absolutely love lemons. Even family members thought it was a bit too tart. I may make it again but use only half the amount of juice, or, I may try using milder Meyer lemons.
These are so good! My husband said, “This recipe is a keeper!” I used my fresh milled flour rolls and everything was delicious! Thank you!
