If this brings back memories of the “house salad” from that Italian-American restaurant you grew up eating at, then we consider our jobs done.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
5 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small head of iceberg lettuce
1/2 small red onion, sliced into rings
2 ounces provolone piccante cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup drained small mozzarella balls, torn
10 peperoncini, halved if large

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, oregano, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Cut lettuce in half through stem end. Tear apart into large pieces. Arrange on a platter and scatter onion, provolone, mozzarella, and peperoncini over, nestling in among leaves. Drizzle with dressing to coat to your liking (you’ll probably have some extra) and top with more black pepper.
