Deli-Style Italian Chopped Salad

This Italian chopped salad is a bold, deli-style salad loaded with crisp romaine, cured meats, provolone, olives, and tangy banana peppers tossed in a creamy Calabrian chili vinaigrette. Finely chopped ingredients ensure every bite is packed with savory, briny, and slightly spicy flavor. The rich mix of salami, pepperoni, and cheese balances perfectly with fresh vegetables and a zippy dressing. Ready in just 20 minutes, it’s a hearty, flavor-forward salad that works as a main or a standout side.
