Grinder Pasta Salad - Recipe by Laura Vitale

provolone cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

salami

🥗Healthier: turkey salami

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey salami is lower in fat, while bologna is often less expensive.

Chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large bowl.

Slice the salami, capicola, and provolone cheese into bite-sized pieces.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion thinly.

Add the salami, capicola, provolone, tomatoes, red onion, pepperoncini, and black olives to the bowl.

Dice the cucumber and add it to the salad mixture.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
