Pizza Side Salad with Italian Vinaigrette

First, make the dressing by whisking together all vinaigrette ingredients (extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, Italian seasoning, and optional Parmesan cheese) until combined. You can also shake it up in a jar. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing and a pinch of salt over the cherry tomatoes and stir to combine. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the salad. In a large bowl, add the chopped lettuce, marinated tomatoes, black olives, sliced pepperoncinis, thinly sliced red onion (optional to soak in cold water for 5-10 minutes to make it more mild), diced provolone cheese (or low moisture mozzarella), and chopped salami. Pour the remaining dressing on top then toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with your favorite pizza!
