Ingredients
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- ½ tsp dried oregano
For the salad
- 8 slices salami, sliced
- 150g provolone cheese, cut into cubes or mozzarella pearls
- 50g black olives, sliced
- 10cm chunk cucumber, quartered lengthways then cut into little triangles
- 100g cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- ½ red onion, chopped
- ½ pepper, any colour, chopped into small pieces
- 2 Little Gem or 1 Romaine lettuce,, chopped
- 50g croutons, shop-bought or homemade
Method
- STEP 1
Take two large leak-proof containers, and mix half the ingredients for the dressing in each one. Layer the salad ingredients on top, starting with the salami followed by the cheese, olives, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, pepper, lettuce and croutons, in that order, so that the more tender veg doesn’t soften in the dressing. Pack into a cool bag with an ice pack.
- STEP 2
Just before eating, shake the salad well until everything is coated in the creamy dressing.
