Layer the ingredients in this salad in a large container, with the more tender leaves on top away from the dressing on the bottom, then shake it at lunchtime to perfectly distribute the dressing
150 g provolone cheese , cut into cubes or mozzarella pearls
50 g black olives , sliced
10 cm chunk cucumber , quartered lengthways then cut into little triangles
100 g cherry tomatoes , halved or quartered
0.5 red onion , chopped
0.5 pepper , any colour, chopped into small pieces
2 Little Gem or 1 Romaine lettuce, , chopped
50 g croutons , shop-bought or homemade
Steps
Take two large leak-proof containers, and mix half the ingredients for the dressing in each one. Layer the salad ingredients on top, starting with the salami followed by the cheese, olives, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, pepper, lettuce and croutons, in that order, so that the more tender veg doesn’t soften in the dressing. Pack into a cool bag with an ice pack.
Just before eating, shake the salad well until everything is coated in the creamy dressing.
