Ground black pepper, to taste

For the salad:
1 head romaine, chopped

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3 ounces salami, sliced into strips

1 cup pitted green olives, chopped
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped

Directions
Prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine all of the chopped antipasto salad ingredients.

Make the vinaigrette. In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, grated Parmesan cheese, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until emulsified. Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to a mason jar and shake until emulsified.

Dress the salad. Pour about half of the dressing over the salad and mix to combine. Add more dressing if desired.
