Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups romaine lettuce (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup chopped salami
  • 1 cup green olives
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • ½ cup diced cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, salami, olives, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and cheese. Fold the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper until homogenous. Taste and adjust as needed.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and fold to combine.
  • Top your salad with a little extra feta cheese if desired, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Prep and Timing: Having all your components pre-diced and ready to go makes assembly incredibly fast and effortless.
Ingredient Substitutions:
  • Swap the feta for mozzarella or parmesan based on your preference or what you have available.
  • In addition to salami, feel free to use pepperoni, ham, or prosciutto. While prosciutto brings a luxurious richness that complements the salami's spiciness, keep in mind it's a pricier option.
  • Pimento-stuffed green olives are our go-to, but plain green olives or black olives deliver equally delicious results.
Flavor Balance: The natural sweetness from bell peppers and cherry tomatoes creates a pleasant contrast against the tangy, sharp notes of the Dijon mustard dressing.
Storage Tips:
  • Always store the dressing separately from the salad components to maintain optimal freshness and texture. Storing the all ingredients together leads to soggy lettuce and a mushy, unappealing texture.
  • Both the mixed vegetables and the dressing will keep well in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
