Recipe : Little King Salad

I got this recipe by way of a girl I met while working at HomePlace.  She told me not to share it.  I told her that I couldn't promise that :)  Besides, statute of limitations is over....that's been 14 years!!

Little King is a sub shop that got its start in Omaha.  Mom and I love the #2 (ham, hard salami and cheese) and used to have it lots of Saturdays while Dad was at work.  This salad tastes just like a Little King sandwich in a bowl!!  YUM!

In a Mason jar or carafe, mix together:

1/2 c vegetable oil
3/4 c white vinegar
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic salt

In a large bowl, mix together:

3 lb iceberg lettuce (I use the large the iceberg lettuce with carrot and cabbage shreds)
1 tomato, chopped into 1/2" pieces
1 red onion, chopped
1 pkg each (6 oz per package) deli turkey and ham, cut into 1" pieces
1 package pepperoni, chopped
6 oz shredded parmesan cheese




Cut one bag of hoagie rolls (I use Rotella's) into 1" cubes. 



When ready to serve, add roll cubes to lettuce.  Pour dressing over the top and toss to combine.  Serve immediately.

Notes:
1. I cut the red onion into large 1" pieces so that Jeff and I can pick them out.  I've tried making the salad without the onions, but it just doesn't taste the same.
2.  If I am taking this salad to a party, I don't put the dressing on - I let each person put on his/her own dressing so that the salad doesn't get gloppy.
3.  I use Turkey pepperoni  minis so that I don't have to cut as much :).
4.  You can double the meat.
