A bowl of shake-it-up chopped salad

For the dressing

2 tbsp yogurt
2 tbsp mayo
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove
1 tsp honey
1 lemon
zested and juiced
½ tsp dried oregano

For the salad

8 slices salami
sliced
150g provolone cheese
cut into cubes or mozzarella pearls
50g black olives
sliced
10cm chunk cucumber
quartered lengthways then cut into little triangles
100g cherry tomatoes
halved or quartered
½ red onion
chopped
½ pepper
any colour, chopped into small pieces
2 Little Gem or 1 Romaine lettuce
chopped
50g croutons
shop-bought or homemade

Method

step 1
Take two large leak-proof containers, and mix half the ingredients for the dressing in each one. Layer the salad ingredients on top, starting with the salami followed by the cheese, olives, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, pepper, lettuce and croutons, in that order, so that the more tender veg doesn’t soften in the dressing. Pack into a cool bag with an ice pack.
step 2
Just before eating, shake the salad well until everything is coated in the creamy dressing.
