It isn't summertime; however this made a really great lunch! I, too, cut my sliced salami into strips and marinated for about 1 1/2 hours. TASTY! Made for Prop It Up event in Cooking Photos. (took your suggestion--propped as a take-along road trip lunch with Pepper Jack slices and crackers.)

This salad was great! We used sliced salami, cut into strips, and also cut the tomatoes (we used Roma tomoatoes) into bite sized pieces. This hit the spot, and I can't wait to make it again with tomatoes from our garden.

I made a reduced version of this for our grilling tonight. I didn't have salami, was planning to use normal onions instead of green, but hubby had used all our onions in the potatoe dish! So - no onions and no salami, but still a nice simple salad with a wonderful tangy dressing! Thanks for posting this!
