Ingredients
Lettuce
- 5-6 leaves large lettuce leaves (iceberg or romaine) (Use iceberg for crunch or romaine for sturdiness.)
Meats
- 2 slices salami (Thinly sliced.)
- 2 slices turkey (Thinly sliced.)
- 1 slice ham or pepperoni (Thinly sliced.)
Cheese
- 1-2 slices provolone or mozzarella (Or shredded cheese sparingly.)
Toppings
- 3 pieces pepperoncinis (Drained.)
- 1/4 small red onion (Sliced thin.)
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (Chopped (parsley or basil).)
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (For dressing.)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (For dressing.)
- 1 pinch Italian seasoning (For seasoning.)
- 1 squeeze lemon (For extra flavor.)
- salt and pepper (To taste.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
- Lay out a sheet of parchment larger than your hand-span.
- Slice the cheese, drain the pepperoncinis, and thinly slice the onions.
Assembly
- Place the parchment on your counter and overlap the lettuce leaves in the center to create a large rectangle.
- Layer the meats in thin, shingled rows, starting with salami, then turkey, and adding ham or pepperoni.
- Add cheese slices on top.
- Add toppings: a few pepperoncinis, a sprinkle of red onion, and chopped fresh herbs, then drizzle with Italian dressing.
- Fold the sides of the lettuce inward and use the parchment to roll it up like a burrito.
- Twist the ends of the parchment like a candy wrapper and slice in half if desired.
Notes
Keep everything dry and prepped before assembly. Using parchment helps maintain shape and prevent tearing.
