The preparation

6 steps, about 15 minutes start to finish.

01
Chop all the deli meats and cheese into small, uniform pieces, roughly 1/4-inch dice so everything scoops up easily.
02
Halve the cherry tomatoes, then chop the pepperoncini (or giardiniera) and red onion and shred the lettuce.
03
Combine the meats, cheese, pepperoncini, tomatoes, and red onion in a large bowl.
04
Add the mayonnaise, Italian dressing (or both), red wine vinegar, and dried oregano, and toss to coat everything evenly.
05
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the shredded lettuce last so it stays crisp.
06
Transfer to a wide, shallow serving bowl and serve immediately with toasted baguette slices, crostini, crackers, or kettle chips.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Fold the shredded lettuce in last, right before serving, so it stays crisp. Everything else can be chopped and tossed ahead, but lettuce sitting in the dressing goes limp fast.”
