A very tasty salad which we enjoyed with Recipe #340714, and lamb kebabs made with Recipe #171661 on a bed of Recipe #289258. I used kalamata olives and cheddar, I omitted the salami (but will make sure I have some next time), used honey ham (I wasn't at all sure what dak ham was), added some red pepper and included one of the suggested variations: avocado. I love the versatility that this recipe provides and intend making it for take-to-work lunches. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

A wonderful salad combination! I used pepperoni instead of salami, a colby/jack blend and kalamata olives and topped it all with a creamy caesar dressing. Delicious! Thanks for posting.

A delicious salad which I made for my dinner entree. I used romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumber, green bell pepper, orange bell pepper, avocado, green onions and mozzarella cheese. I served it with garlic toasts. For dressing I mixed ranch and picante sauce. Thanks for sharing your recipe Color Guard Mom!
