Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 6 cups iceberg lettuce torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 ripe tomatoes cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup baked ham julienned into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup Swiss cheese julienned into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup Spanish pimento-stuffed olives pitted
  • 1 tablespoon Romano cheese grated

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil Spanish olive oil preferred
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. Gradually whisk in the olive oil and white wine vinegar until emulsified. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the best flavor, refrigerate the dressing for 1 to 2 days before using to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • In a large salad bowl, tear the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Pour the dressing over the lettuce and toss well to coat every leaf.
  • Add the julienned ham, Swiss cheese strips, tomato wedges, and Spanish olives to the bowl.
  • Sprinkle the grated Romano cheese over the top. Give the salad one final gentle toss and serve immediately.

Notes

For the most authentic flavor, use Spanish olive oil and Spanish pimento-stuffed olives. The dressing tastes even better when made 1-2 days ahead. Use iceberg lettuce for the classic crunch - other lettuces will get soggy too quickly. The salad is best served immediately after tossing with the dressing.
