Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Slice the deli meats (turkey, ham, and salami) into bite-sized pieces if needed.
  • Shred the cheese (cheddar or your choice) and set aside.
  • Drain and rinse the black olives.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

  • In a large clear glass bowl or tub, start with a base of crisp lettuce.
  • Add a layer of sliced turkey, ham, and salami.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the meats.
  • Top with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and black olives.

Step 3: Add the Dressing

  • Drizzle your favorite dressing (Italian or ranch) over the top.
  • For a lighter option, use the dressing on the side.

Step 4: Toss and Serve

  • Gently toss the ingredients to combine, or leave them layered for a visually appealing presentation.
  • Serve immediately with a side of crusty bread or enjoy as-is for a low-carb option.

Step 5: Meal Prep Tips

  • Store the pre-chopped ingredients separately in airtight containers for quick assembly later.
  • Add the dressing just before serving to keep the veggies crisp.
