"This salad is so pretty, and wonderful for a potluck. You can makeit ahead of time, if you have room in the fridge to keep it. Serve with Italian dressing on the side - I use Olive Garden's salad dressing."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
I make this in a bowl was about 18" wide and 4" deep with sloping sides, which allowed for arranging the rolled meats and cheese all around the edge.
Step 2
Dump lettuce into bowl and sprinkle garbanzo beans over top. Sprinkle with a dash of garlic salt and fresh ground pepper, top with tomatoes.
Step 3
Cut the mortadello and provolone in half, then roll each piece tightly, placing them around the salad at the edge of the bowl, alternating meat and cheese, cut side down. Tuck them under salad just a bit so they stay rolled.
Step 4
Fold each slice of salami in half, then in half again and place into the bowl of salad so that they look like rosettes. Cover tightly with saran wrap and refrigerate ujntil ready to serve.
Step 5
Feel free to add additional ingredients. I kept the recipe simple to stay true to my childhood memories.
Tips
