This chopped salad is based on a favorite I like to order from Jersey Mike's. It's delicious eaten as a salad, for a gluten free and low carb option. But you can also stuff it into a soft Italian roll to make a heartier sandwich version. Both are absolutely delicious!

Ingredients
1 small head iceberg lettuce, outer leaves and core removed, chopped (3-4 cups), or chopped romaine lettuce
1 small tomato or 10-12 cherry tomatoes, chopped (about ½ cup)
½ medium sweet yellow or red onion, sliced or chopped (about ⅓ cup)
¼ cup sliced pepperoncini or banana peppers, chopped
4 slices (3 oz) provolone cheese, chopped
4 slices (3 oz) deli ham, chopped
4 slices (3 oz) deli turkey, chopped
4 slices (2 oz) deli sliced salami, chopped
Optional: 1-2 small soft Italian rolls (like a bolillo roll), chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Steps
Using a knife or a vegetable chopper, chop all of the salad ingredients and add them to a large bowl. (Note: If using the chopped Italian roll, don’t cube it or add it to the salad until just before serving.)
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, whisk or shake the dressing ingredients together.
Before serving, pour the dressing over the chopped salad ingredients and toss until well mixed. Add the chopped Italian roll, if using, and toss again.
Serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

Anne on 2026-01-04 (5 stars): Great!
Donna Koga on 2026-01-05 (5 stars): I have the vegetable chopper too and it works great for this ... except on the provolone cheese and the sandwich pepperoni I used. They're too "soft and sticky" to chop in that appliance. For everything else, it was great. Takes so much less time! Great recipe overall! For those who don't care about the carbs, it can be put on a sub roll, or a bagel with some cream cheese.
Christine on 2026-01-20 (5 stars): This was excellent! I kept things all separate so the kids could decide what to add and then also to use ranch dressing. But for me, the vinaigrette was tangy and delicious.
Denise B Myers on 2026-02-11 (5 stars): Love the ingredients and the dressing is perfect. Very easy to throw together for a quick dinner
