Ingredients

  • 1 large head iceberg lettuce roughly 4 cups cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 large ripe tomato
  • ½ cup ham cut into ½ strips
  • ½ cup Swiss cheese cut into ½ inch strips
  • ½ cup green olives with pimentos leave whole
  • ¼ cup Romano cheese

Dressing

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 3 teaspoons oregano
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, tomatoes, ham, Swiss cheese, and green olives.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the salad dressing ingredients and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. (Start slow as not to over-dress)
  • Sprinkle with Romano cheese. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store your dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to enjoy the refreshing tang and oregano flavor!
  • Use your favorite baked ham or deli ham in a pinch.
  • I love the crunchiness so I do a loose chop but some 1905 fans shred their lettuce!
  • Use green Spanish olives for the best flavor.
  • For an on-the-go lunch, prep the ham into strips in a container for up to a week.
  • Chop your lettuce to your preferred crunch level, or even shred your lettuce. Either of these are beloved by Columbia fans.
  • This salad is best served either on its own, or other Columbia restaurant favorites like the original Cuban, Ropa Vieja, and paella.
