Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce, then chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad. Use less if you prefer a milder onion flavor.
Peel or wash the cucumber, then slice lengthwise into quarters and chop into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl.
Julienne the green bell pepper or dice it into small chunks and mix it with the other vegetables.
Stack the deli meats (turkey, ham, and salami) and roll them up tightly. Slice into thin spirals and scatter over the salad.
Cut the provolone cheese into small strips or cubes and add to the bowl.
Slice the olives if they are whole and add them to the salad, along with the pepperoncini for a tangy, spicy kick.
Pour the Italian dressing over the salad, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Serve the salad immediately as a main dish or side. Optionally, garnish with additional pepperoncini or herbs like parsley.
