Not the combination you think of for a salad, is it?
This salad is great for a summertime luncheon. Serve it chilled, with a platter of cheese and crusty French bread or rolls. It’s best when made several hours in advance so flavors have a chance to blend.
For best flavor, purchase salami that is in chunk form rather than already sliced.
This is a quick and easy salad that takes about 20 minutes to prepare.
