Method
In a large bowl, combine the cannellini beans, chickpeas, turkey pepperoni, deli ham, deli turkey, part-skim mozzarella, banana peppers, and white sweet onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the light mayo and Wickles sandwich spread until smooth.
Add the red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the mayo mixture and whisk until well combined.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Vinegar and herbs are evenly whisked through the creamy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the bean and meat mixture, and toss until everything is well coated.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Dressing coats beans and meats without crushing them.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chilling lets the tangy dressing flavor the beans and meats.
Before serving, give the salad a good stir and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve chilled, garnished with additional banana peppers or chopped fresh herbs if desired.
