1905 SALAD!! HERITAGE RECIPE!!

As promised today I bring you this delicious heritage recipe for 1905 salad! Hailing from the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, this salad is full of delicious ingredients and definitely qualifies as what I (and Elaine) call a "Big Salad"! This will satisfy you even if you are starving and you will come away satisfied! Full of delicous smoked, ham, Swiss cheese, olives, artichokes, tomatoes and that lovely dressing we previously made, this salad emulates the flavors of another Cuban favorite, the Cuban sandwich! I know you are going to love this and when you make it for your family they are going to love it too!

This salad starts off with an entire head of crisp and cold, iceberg lettuce. I like to simply smack the head, core side down, on the counter then it will be easy to remove. Then I just start tearing. I prefer to tear the lettuce into bite sized pieces rather than cut with a knife, as tearing helps to stave of browning a bit while using a knife will speed up that process, for whatever reason.

To this crisp lettuce we add approximately one cup each of wedged slicing tomatoes or in my case heirloom grape and cherry tomatoes, Spanish olives stuffed with pimentos, chopped artichoke hearts, julianned Swiss cheese and smoked ham as well as grated parmesan or Romano cheese toss that all together with the 1905 garlic vinaigrette dressing we made and you are on your way to a delicious salad experience!

There are a lot of bold flavors in this salad but honestly they all work together in such a cohesive fashion it is just an enjoyable taste! You can sub out the ham for chicken or turkey, sub out the Swiss cheese for Monterey Jack or Muenster or whatever you prefer. The beauty of this salad is it's versatility. Don't stray too far from the original though or you might miss out on the intended experience.

Someday I hope to do a food tour of Tampa and Ybor city. There are so many delicious delicacies to be had that I have seein in videos of that region that I think it would be a shame not to at least try them once!

This salad can be served as a starter, a side or a main meal and it will satisfy even the hungriest at your table! I hope you give this 1905 Salad a try, sometime soon and I hope you love it!

Happy Eating!
