“In Forestville, New York, Crystal Ranft tosses together this salad that’s packed with pizza ingredients. ‘It’s always a hit at family gatherings and social dinners,’ she notes. ‘And it’s so flexible. I’ve used spinach instead of lettuce and pepperoni in place of salami.’”

INGREDIENTS

* 6 cups torn lettuce leaves
* 8 ounces hard salami, julienned
* 6 ounces provolone cheese, julienned
* 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
* 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
* 1 (6 ounce) can pitted ripe olives , drained, halved
* 1 tablespoon minced chives
* 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 1/4 cup red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the lettuce on a large serving platter. Arrange the salami, cheeses, tomatoes and olives over top. Sprinkle with chives. In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Drizzle over salad.
