25371019_BG2
This is hands down the best salad ever. In fact, my kids ask for this one all of the time. I got the recipe from Columbia Restaurant in Florida. This salad is so filling! Once you make it this will be requested all of the time!

Columbia Salad

4 cups iceberg lettuce, broken into 1 1/2″ × 1 1/2″ pieces
1 ripe tomato, cut into eighths
1/2 cup baked ham, julienned 
1/2 cup Swiss cheese, julienne 
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed green Spanish olives
2 cups Dressing 
1/4 cup Romano cheese, grated
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 lemon, juice

In a large bowl, put the lettuce in first. Then place the ham and cheese on. Add the olives and grated Romano cheese. Pour the dressing over the top. Drizzle  with fresh lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Toss and serve! 

Salad Dressing:

1/2 cup extra-virgin Spanish olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
⅛ cup white wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a mason jar and shake! Allow this to sit for at least 24 hours for maximum flavor.

1 pound frozen cooked peeled & deveined medium shrimp, thawed

3 garlic cloves finely, chopped

Add in the shrimp cooking till it is warmed. Pour in the lemon juice and stir in the fettuccine. Using tongs toss the pasta to warm it through. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve with salad and french bread!
