  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Instructions

Notes

For best results, let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can substitute the turkey and beef beef salami with other sliced meats like chicken or roast beef. Add cherry tomatoes for extra freshness.
