Finely chop the iceberg lettuce. Place it in a large bowl of ice water to keep it crisp while you prepare the other ingredients.

Whisk the dressing until well combined and emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

To assemble for meal prep, layer the ingredients in a large jar. Start with a few tablespoons of vinaigrette at the bottom.

Layer the remaining ingredients in the following order: chickpeas, Parmesan cheese, red onion, black olives, salami, turkey, mozzarella, and croutons.

Drain the lettuce well and pat it dry, then add it as the final layer on top. Seal the jar and refrigerate.

When ready to serve, empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl, toss everything together, and enjoy.
