  • 8 oz Italian dry salami or pepperoni, chopped
  • 10 oz fresh spinach

For the dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Mix everything but the spinach together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk dressing ingredients until oil is emulsified. Pour over salad mixture and toss to incorporate.
  • Serve salad on bed of spinach.

Notes

Marinated veggies are often packed with all sorts of yummy oils, vinegars and herbs, so feel free to substitute those liquids for the olive oil, red wine vinegar and garlic.
Be sure to store the salad mixture separately from the spinach until just before serving.
