Ingredients

  • 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 12 head red-leaf lettuce
  • 2 leaves radicchio
  • 2 leaves bibb lettuce
  • 3 chives, chopped
  • 3 slices cucumbers
  • 2 green pepper rings or 2 pepperoncini peppers
  • 1 canned artichoke heart, halved
  • 3 green olives, stuffed
  • 1 stalk hearts of palm, sliced in rounds (optional)
  • 1 radish, sliced thinly
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices tomatoes
  • 4 slices salami
  • 4 slices ham
  • 3 slices mortadella (or other Italian cold cut meat)
  • 3 slices turkey
  • prepared salad dressing, on the side, to taste

Method

  • Place iceberg lettuce on a dinner plate.
  • Arrange the radicchio, Bibb, and red leaf lettuce leaves decoratively around the edges of the plate.
  • Form meats and cheese into cones and arrange around the rim of the plate.
  • Place remaining ingredients in the center of the plate in a pile.
  • Serve with dressing of your choice.
  • Feel free to use different cold cut meats and cheeses as you please.
  • You may also wish to use chunks of meat& cheese rather than slices.
  • Note: Look for pepperoncini peppers in the pickled foods aisle; hearts of palm come canned or jarred and can be found at Asian markets and some well-stocked groceries.
