Ingredients
  

Meats & Cheeses:

  • 1 cup turkey sliced
  • 1 cup roast beef sliced
  • 1/2 cup provolone cheese sliced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup Swiss cheese sliced or shredded

Vegetables:

  • 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 medium tomato sliced
  • 1/2 onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickles sliced
  • 1/4 cup olives sliced
  • 1/4 cup banana peppers

Dressing:

  • 2 –3 tablespoons Italian dressing or preferred dressing

Instructions
 

Prepare your ingredients:

  • Wash and chop the lettuce, tomato, and other vegetables. Slice meats and cheeses into bite-sized pieces if needed.

Layer the bowl:

  • Start with chopped romaine lettuce as your base. Layer the meats and cheeses evenly on top.

Add toppings:

  • Scatter tomatoes, onions, pickles, olives, and banana peppers over the meat and cheese layer.

Dress it up:

  • Drizzle the Italian dressing (or your preferred dressing) evenly over the top.

Toss and serve:

  • Use tongs or a large spoon to gently toss everything together until well mixed. Serve immediately or store without dressing if meal prepping.

Notes

Tip: For meal prep, keep the dressing in a separate container and add it just before eating to keep everything fresh and crisp.
Variations: Try grilled chicken, shredded cheese blends, or spicy chipotle mayo for a flavor twist!
