Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, bell pepper, onion, cucumber, salami, turkey pepperoni, pepperoncini, artichokes, mozzarella, and fresh herbs.
Make the dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If using Parmesan, sprinkle before serving.
