Why You'll Love This Recipe
Tastes Like a Sandwich: If you love sandwiches, then you’ll love this Cold Cuts Salad. This is basically a fancy AF sandwich sans the bread! I add ham, turkey, and pepperoni for a meaty salad that has just the right amount of spice thanks to the pepperoni!
Clean Organic Meats: I use Organic Prairie Pepperoni, Turkey, and Ham as I believe their meat is the moist high quality you can buy. Especially with lunch meat, I believe it’s very important to buy organic.
Homemade Dressing: I make a simple homemade dressing for this salad using extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and oregano, and parsley. This simple herb and olive oil dressing is the perfect complement to the meat and veggies!
