Equipment

Vegetable chopper optional

Ingredients

1 lb. good quality sliced deli turkey
6 oz. turkey pepperoni
4 oz. provolone cheese chopped
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes (100g) halved
1/2 cup mild banana pepper rings (80g) chopped
1/2 cup red onion (80g) chopped
1/2 cup light mayonnaise (120g)
2 Tbsp yellow mustard (30g)
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar (30g)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
8 oz. shredded Iceberg lettuce*
Hoagie rolls optional for serving

Instructions

Prepare ingredients. Chop the turkey, pepperoni and cheese into small pieces. Halve the tomatoes. Chop the red onion and banana pepper rings.
Add all the ingredients (except the lettuce) to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.
*Note: If prepping sandwiches individually I would add the lettuce right before serving so it stays crunchy and fresh. If serving for a crowd you can go ahead and mix it in.
Enjoy as a salad or serve in a hoagie roll with condiments of choice.

Notes

To store: store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days with the lettuce, or 4-5 days without. Add lettuce to salad right before serving to keep the lettuce from getting soggy.

This recipe is gluten-free as written. If using salad recipe to make hoagies, just be sure to use gluten-free hoagie rolls.

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free cheese (or omit).
