Instructions

Step 1

Place romaine, red onion and fennel in an ice bath. Let sit for a few minutes to crisp up the lettuce. Remove from the ice bath and dry in a salad spinner or lay out on a kitchen towel to dry COMPLETELY. You don't want a watery salad! Add to a large bowl.

Step 2

Add in radishes and cucumbers. Set aside.

Step 3

Next, prepare the dressing. Add all dressing ingredients to a jar and shake until combined. Alternately, add everything to a small bowl, and whisk until combined.

Step 4

Add as much dressing to the reserved lettuce mix as desired. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper if needed*

Step 5

Top salad with tomatoes, peppers, olives, artichokes, salami, ricotta salata, basil and pepperoncini and serve!
