CARMINE'S SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the iceberg letuce into 3 equal pieces and cut each piece into quarters. Place the lettuce in a large bowl filled with ice-cold water. Core and halve the radicchio and then cut each half into 3 pieces. Add it to the bowl. Remove the stems from the watercress or arugula and add it to the bowl. Using your hands, swish the greens around, breaking up the iceberg lettuce and radicchio leaves. Spin the greens dry or dry them with paper towels. Transfer them to a plastic bag or similar container and refrigerate them until they are cold and crispy. In a large bowl, mix together the salami, provolone, onions, cucumbers, pepperoncini, olives, radishes and tomatoes. Add the lettuce, radicchio, and watercress(arugula) and gently toss the salad to combine the ingredients. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette over the salad and toss it again. Add the oregano and season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. Add more dressing, if desired. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter.
