party salad!

I always get a bit flustered when i think about what i am going to bring to a party. Usually it is a dessert, but, sometimes i like to switch it up a bit. The other day i was browsing Internet food sites and saw these really amazing muffaletta salad type deal. It looked awesome, so i switched it up a bit and came up with this amazingly delish salad that was a total hit! Here we go...

2 pints cherry tomatoes

2 balls of fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

2 cans white beans

1 can chick peas

a bunch of green olives

a bunch of Greek olives

vegan saton or turkey salami sliced up
1/2 purple onion diced

1 jar of artichoke hearts

1.5 cups or 2 cups of Greek dressing - totally eyeball this part (or use your own favorite vinaigrette - i think i'm going to use balsamic next time)

Toss it all together and you get this super yummy take along salad that all of your friends will love. Feel free to switch it up to suit your taste.

This is MUCH better if made the day before or even 2 days before!

sooooo good.

Enjoy!
