You can replace any of the salami or ham with leftover chicken, turkey, beef strips, or shredded pork. Try using different cheeses each time instead of the provolone.

If you cant find cherry tomatoes, you can use plum tomatoes cut into thick slices. site map	Mardi Gras Salad Ingredients (12 servings - 300 calories per serving) 4 - 1 inch thick Italian bread slices 2 tbsp Italian salad dressing 1 medium sweet red pepper (cut into strips) 3/4 cup Italian salad dressing 1/2 cup celery (sliced) 1/2 cup pitted, green olives (sliced) 3 tbsp fresh basil (snipped) 8 cups romaine lettuce (torn) 1/2 pound salami (cut into strips) 1/2 pound lean, cooked ham (cut into strips) 8 oz provolone cheese (cubed) 1-1/2 cups broccoli flowerets (washed and patted dry) 1-1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved) Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
