- 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 10 oz deli turkey, chicken or ham
- 2 oz salami
- ¼ cup pepperoncini chopped
- 1 teaspoon calabrian chilies optional
- ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes optional
- ½ head lettuce chopped
- ⅓ cup red onion diced
- ⅓ cup cherry tomatoes diced
- 1 handful fresh basil chopped
- ¼ cup italian dressing
- potato chips for serving
Drain and rinse the 1 can chickpeas well, then pat them dry if you'd like a less watery bowl.
Chop the 10 oz deli turkey, chicken or ham, 2 oz salami, ¼ cup pepperoncini, ½ head lettuce, ⅓ cup red onion, ⅓ cup cherry tomatoes and 1 handful fresh basil to roughly the same bite-sized pieces. Add everything to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, 1 tsp calabrian chilies and ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes.
Add the ¼ cup italian dressing and toss to combine. Start with a little less than you think you need and add more to taste.
Taste and adjust. The pepperoncini and salami are both salty, so you may not need extra salt.
Serve with potato chips for scooping.
Make it vegetarian: Leave out the deli meat and salami and add a second can of chickpeas or some mozzarella pearls.
Dress it later: If making ahead, keep the lettuce and dressing separate until serving.
Storage: Fridge up to 2 days in an airtight container with dressing or 4 without.
