The Columbia Restaurant's 1905 salad is a classic and iconic dish that has been delighting diners for over a century. Made with crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomatoes, ham, Swiss cheese, and olives, all tossed in a tangy garlic dressing, it offers a flavorful experience.
Combine lettuce, tomato, ham, Swiss cheese and olives in a large salad bowl. Before serving, add “1905” Dressing, Romano cheese, Worcestershire and the juice of 1 lemon. Toss well and serve immediately.
Make the dressing: Mix olive oil, garlic and oregano in a bowl with a wire whisk. Stir in vinegar, gradually beating to form an emulsion, and then season with salt and pepper. For best results, prepare 1 to 2 days in advance and refrigerate.
