Sarasota's Ham and Swiss Cheese Salad image

This is sort of a "NO-measurements" salad. Ham, cheese, olives, onion and lettuce. I like more olives where others may like more cheese or ham. This just reminds me of a ham and cheese sandwich I had back in MI many years ago. Thick slices, crisp lettuce and a creamy mustard sauce, Recipe #413903.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 Salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups lettuce (I use a mix of romaine hearts and iceberg lettuce)
1 slice baked ham (1/4-inch thick and cut in thin julienne strips)
1 -2 slice swiss cheese (1/4-inch thick and cut in thin julienne strips)
1 cup green olives with pimiento (more or less according to taste)
1 1/2 cups durkee fried onions (more or less according to taste, Now if you can't find them, 1 medium onion thin sliced will work ju)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Salad -- Just rough chop the lettuce, add the ham, swiss cheese, whole olives and Durkee onions (more or less depending on what you like. I save some for the top as well as a garnish. Now if you can't find the Durkee fried onions, just use a regular white onion. I just like the crunch the Durkee onions gives the salad. I like to lightly season with salt and pepper and then drizzle your favorite dressing over the top and toss well. I like to serve it with Recipe #413903. The creamy mustard dressing goes perfect with this. You can also use a ranch dressing or your favorite vinaigrette.
  • It is a simple classic recipe, but I absolutely love it. And feel free to add more or less ingredients as needed. ENJOY!
