Ingredients:
2 cups butter leaf lettuce (or other lettuce of your choice)
7 slices of natural pepperoni (nitrate, nitrite & hormone free)

1/3 cup sliced banana pepper rings (or pepperoncini) 
1/3 cup sliced or chopped red onion
1 - 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing

2 large garlic stuffed green olives (or 4 - 6 regular olives of your choice)

Method:
Place the lettuce on a plate or in a bowl. Cut the pepperoni and salami slices into 4 pieces each. Arrange the slices in rows on top of the lettuce. sprinkle the grated cheese in between the rows of meat. Arrange the pepperoncini and red onion on the salad.  Drizzle the dressings evenly over the top of all of the ingredients. Cut the olives in half and use as a garnish. Serve. Makes 1 meal portion or 2 side dish portions.
