Italian Sub Salad

          In life...some things just go perfectly together. Feta cheese and Cucumbers,
          chocolate and peanut butter, Val and Italian food. Italian food is in my blood.
          It's what I crave and want more than any other food. It's been a love affair since
          childhood. There isn't a pasta dish that I won't eat and there isn't an Italian dish
          that I can ever pass on.

          When I was a little girl I remember going to Maine with my dad and he would
          always stop at his favorite Sub shop when he was a little boy....and every time he
          would always get the same thing. A large Italian Sub aka "Grinder" if your from
          New England, I never forgot that memory as a child....and to this very day if I see
          an Italian Sub on any menu...I order one. This salad is so good. Enjoy!!

                                                                  Italian Sub Salad

          2 heads of romaine - rinsed and chopped
          Half of a red onion

          2 to 3 ounces prosciutto, cut into strips
          2 to 3 ounces genoa salami, cut into strips
          2 to 3 ounces capocollo, cut into strips

          1/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
          1/2 cups marinated olives - optional

          Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix the dressing in another bowl and
          add at the end. You can add more or less depending on taste.
