Ingredients

1 head iceberg lettuce (torn into pieces)

1/2 cup sliced Swiss cheese (julienned)

1/2 cup baked ham (julienned)

2 large tomatoes cut into wedges (or 1 pint cherry tomatoes)

1/2 cup green Spanish olives

1/4 cup grated Romano cheese (for serving)

lemon (juice, for serving)

1/2 cup Spanish olive oil

4 garlic cloves (minced)

2 tsp dried oregano

1/8 cup white wine vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Make the Dressing: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, oregano, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined. The Columbia Restaurant recommends making the dressing 2 days in advance and letting it sit in the fridge for the flavors to meld.

Prep the Salad Base: In a large serving bowl, combine the iceberg lettuce, Swiss cheese, ham, tomatoes, and olives.

Dress It Up: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything thoroughly to coat.

Finish with Flavor: Sprinkle the Romano cheese on top. Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad just before serving.

Serve Immediately: This salad is best enjoyed right away for maximum crunch and flavor.
