1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly. Dry them with a paper towel.
2. Chop Greens: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce and arugula. This will be the base of your salad.
3. Add Veggies: Mix in the diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, diced bell peppers, and sliced red onion. Stir to combine.
4. Incorporate Olives: Add in the olives to give your salad an extra punch.
5. Add Meats: Toss in the chopped salami and pepperoni, distributing evenly throughout the salad.
6. Cheese Time: Gently fold in the cubed provolone cheese, ensuring it’s well mixed with other ingredients.
7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Italian dressing over the salad. Start with a little; you can always add more to taste.
8. Mix Well: Using a large spoon, toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are well coated with dressing.
9. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, giving it an extra layer of flavor.
10. Chill: Cover the salad and place it in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
