Ingredients

½ head iceberg lettuce
3 slices prosciutto cotto or any sliced ham
3 slices mortadella
3 slices provolone cheese
⅓ cup pepperoncini sliced, optional

Dressing

2 tablespoons mayo more or less to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning more or less to taste

Instructions

Chop the lettuce of choice into small pieces. Add it to a clean cutting board with slices of prosciutto cotto, mortadella, provolone cheese, and pepperoncini (if using).
With a big sharp knife, chop everything as small as possible. Note: You can transfer this into a bowl and add the dressing or simply add it on top.
Once finely chopped, add the mayo, Italian seasoning and the pickled juice from the pepperoncini jar.
Mix well and enjoy!
Note: You can definitely add more protein to it or use lean ground turkey to lighten it up.
