Ingredients: 4 ounces deli-sliced Genoa salami; 4 ounces deli-sliced prosciutto; 4 ounces deli-sliced smoked turkey; 4 ounces deli-sliced pepperoni; 4 ounces provolone; 1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes; 1 cup jarred banana pepper rings; 1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce; 1 cup chopped red onion; 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 1 cup Kardea’s Homemade Italian Dressing, recipe follows; 24 slider buns, split; 1/2 cup lemon juice (from about 2 lemons); 1/2 cup red wine vinegar; 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil; 1/2 cup grated Parmesan; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 2 teaspoons granulated sugar; 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning; 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

On a large cutting board, layer the deli meats and cheese, then give them a rough chop; you want bite-sized pieces of every item. Add on top the tomatoes, banana peppers, lettuce and red onion and chop the whole mixture together into bite-size pieces.
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the Italian Dressing and mix together. Add the chopped ingredients to the bowl with the Dressing and toss together until everything is thoroughly coated.
Scoop about 1/4 cup mixture into each slider bun and serve.
