This salad is like one big antipasto. I love the combination of the garlicky, salty salami and spicy pepperoncini, cooled by the provolone cheese and paired with the crisp iceberg lettuce. I make the vinaigrette heavy on the vinegar–equal parts vinegar and oil–because the acidity helps balance the strong flavors of the salad.

Reviews
I made this salad yesterday for a Labor Day BBQ and all loved it. I’m vegetarian, so I subbed veggie salami. Also, I used Basil from my basil plant instead of rosemary. I will make this salad over and over.
I love this salad – I’ve never ever altered the recipe (why is that people change a recipe then review the original as their altered recipe?? Drives me crazy!). I’ve made it many times over the years and it is always delicious. One little timesaver is that I order the salami and provolone thickly sliced from the deli ahead of time and just chop it up when I get home. It’s a wonderful meal when you’re looking for something light and tasty and savory!
Wondering if lettuce needs to be washed? Katie Lee just cut it up and put it in the bowl. Do you only wash the outside? Have I been wasting time washing chopped lettuce?!?!?!
This salad is super tasty with all of the textures and tangy dressing. Definitely a keeper!
So good!! Will definitely be making again!
Can be a meal or as a side. Either way…everyone loved it!
Great .llove salads.
Love the salads can’t wait to try this recipe.in
Always a great salad, some people might not have ever made it, therefore you most likely helped a new cook!
Sorry, this is not worthy of a “recipe”. We make this all the time, but call it garbage salad. We put in lettuce of whatever kinds we have, and veggies, meats, eggs, cheese, etc… whatever we have. Watched this expecting something amazing, sorry… ☹️
