This recipe was very heavy and I did not like it as a salad. Although I did not like it, everybody else did. I used the leftovers for a pizza and it was simply AWESOME! I used Boboli prepared crust and pizza sauce. Great use for the leftovers you most likely will have with this recipe.

Very different and colorful. Slightly tart. Makes a ton! Prep time listed is not accurate as the recipe requires a lot of cubing and slicing. Salad tends to be a bit "heavy", containing a lot of meat and cheese. Too much cheese, I feel. My local deli sells a similar salad, and I've been searching for the recipe. But in comparing the two, I prefer the deli's version. To make it like theirs, next time I'll substitute salami for half of the pepperoni, omit the swiss cheese and add one can of drained garbanzo beans, and add some shredded carrots for extra color. I'll make this again, with the alterations I've stated. Thanks for the recipe! Now I can duplicate my deli's salad!
