Variations
- Not a fan of provolone? Swap it our with fresh (or part-skim) mozzarella or some shaved ricotta salata!
- Radicchio too bitter for you? Just double up on romaine or use shredded cabbage (purple or green) instead!
- Make it vegetarian friendly - Omit the salami!
- Add more protein - Throw in a couple chopped hard boiled eggs!
- Not into pepperoncinis or olives? Omit them all together or swap them out for thinly sliced red onion!
- Want a different vinaigrette or dressing option? Use your favorite Italian dressing instead!
- Add even more crunch - Add some chopped cucumber and/or carrot.
