Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
- 1 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 cup finely chopped cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Crusty sub rolls or baguette, split lengthwise
- Sliced deli meats (such as ham, salami, or turkey), optional
- Provolone cheese slices, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini peppers, and Parmesan cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- If using, layer your desired deli meats and provolone cheese on the bottom half of the split sub rolls.

- Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, prepare the salad just before assembling the sandwiches to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables in the salad based on your liking.
- This salad can also be served as a side dish.
