For a vegetarian option, skip the meats and add marinated artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or fontina. If you can't find giardiniera, a mix of pickled vegetables will work in a pinch. Make sure to chill the salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
