My family's own (possibly not secret anymore) recipe. Be careful, you wallet can quickly be drained by this one.

Step 1: Ingredients

1 Can Garbanzo Beans (Chick Peas)
1 Jar Marinated Mushrooms
1 or 2 Jars of Green Olives (stuffed or not stuffed - your call)
1 Jar of pickled veggies
1 Jar of Artichoke Hearts Marinated in oil
1 tiny jar of diced pimentos
1 can of anchovies (you may not like them, but I personally do)

1/2 lb Smoked Ham
1/2 lb Mozzarella Cheese
1/2lb Salami (I personally like the type with peppercorns)

1 Head of iceberg - washed and leaves separated


Not Pictured/Not added this time

1 Jar hearts of palm
1 Can Black Olives


Of course, fresh can replace can.

Step 2: Setup and Cheese

Take your leaves from your lettuce and place them on a large flat serving dish. This will form a bed and home for all of our goodies.

Take 1 slice of salami and place it on a slice of cheese. Then roll the cheese/salami as pictured and place it on the bed of lettuce. Repeat. Then roll the rest of the salami and the rest of the ham as tight as possible (I prefer the texture when it is wrapped tightly).

When finished with your meats and cheese - the tray should look something like this with some form of symmetry (picture 3).

Step 3: Add Goodies!

Take each item (minus fish) and arrange on your bed of lettuce. No particular order is necessary, just try to get an even coat. Be sure to drain each can and jar first.

Then try to avoid this tray before dinner. Serve with a spoon or pick away before dinner.
