Chef's Notes
Treat every ingredient with the respect of a crown jewel; chop your meats and cheeses into uniform, bite-sized pieces so every single forkful delivers the complete symphony of an Italian grinder sandwich.
Pro Tip
If you plan on letting this salad rest in the fridge, hold off on adding the shredded iceberg lettuce until the absolute final second to keep that glorious crunch alive and kicking.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the entire bowl of assembled salad onto the kitchen floor because you tried to toss it like a pizza acrobat, leaving your kitchen looking like a crime scene involving salami and mayo.
