This time of year is perfect for quick fix meals that can be served as lunch or dinner.  This quick, easy and refreshing salad is sure to please.  The ingredients can easily be adjusted for one or a ton.  This recipe is good for two healthy appetites or 3 – 4 small ones.  I love the idea of turning a classic appetizer into a wholesome and delicious meal! 

I think you will feel a little less guilty eating all of the meat and cheese by scaling it down a tad and by adding in some really refreshing mixed salad greens.  Another option would be to serve this same salad with romaine lettuce if the mixed greens are not fresh at your market or if you prefer a little more crunch to your salad.
