1-Start by gathering your ingredients and washing the vegetables to ensure everything is fresh and ready. This simple process takes about 30 minutes total, with no cooking needed, which makes it perfect for busy schedules.

2-Prepare your ingredients by finely chopping the iceberg lettuce and slicing the red onion thinly; if it’s too sharp for your taste, soak it in water for 10-15 minutes. Next, chop the banana peppers, tomatoes, salami, pepperoni, turkey, and provolone cheese into bite-sized pieces for even mixing.

3-In a large bowl, combine all the salad ingredients: the chopped iceberg lettuce, red onion, banana peppers, tomatoes, salami, pepperoni, turkey, provolone cheese, and grated parmesan. In a separate bowl, mix the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, banana pepper juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

4-Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to coat each piece evenly. Finally, serve it right away to enjoy the crisp textures and fresh flavors. For a fun variation, check out our Southwest chicken salad recipe for ideas on adding a twist to your salads.
