Ingredients

• 8 cups mixed salad greens (romaine, iceberg, radicchio)
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 oz capicola, thinly sliced
• 4 oz provolone cheese, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
• Handful of croutons
• Italian or vinaigrette dressing, to taste

Directions

1. Start by washing and chopping 8 cups of mixed salad greens (like romaine, iceberg, and radicchio) into bite-sized pieces. Slice 1 cucumber into thin rounds, halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, and slice 1/2 red onion thinly. Arrange the veggies in a large salad bowl.
2. Slice 4 ounces of capicola and 4 ounces of provolone cheese into thin strips. Layer them over the salad greens. If you're feeling extra fancy, roll up the capicola slices and provolone strips for a bit of pizzazz.
3. Sprinkle the salad with 1/4 cup of sliced black olives and 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced. For a little crunch, add a handful of croutons.
4. Drizzle your favorite Italian or vinaigrette dressing over the salad. Toss everything together gently to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet creation!
