Notes
- Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used.
- To make this salad dairy free simply omit the cheese. You could also use a lactose free cheese instead of you are lactose intolerant.
- If you don't like spicy ingredients omit the peppers from the recipe
- You could easily change the deli meats used in this salad to use up whatever you have in the fridge.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to this salad - some of my favorite additions include chopped cucumber, pickles, sauerkraut, and hemp seeds or hemp hearts.
