This vibrant Cuban-inspired salad combines crisp greens, savory ham, and a tangy homemade dressing for a refreshing and flavorful dish.
Prepare the iceberg lettuce by washing and tearing it into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the lettuce is thoroughly dried to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
Slice the tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Use a sharp knife to maintain the tomato's shape and minimize juice loss.
Cut the ham into thin strips and add to the bowl.
Chill the ham slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Add the shredded Swiss cheese and pitted Spanish olives to the bowl.
Distribute the cheese and olives evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, and Worcestershire sauce.
Crush the oregano slightly to release its aroma.
Gradually whisk in the olive oil to form an emulsion.
Add the oil slowly while whisking to ensure a smooth dressing.
Stir in the white wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat all ingredients.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the lettuce.
Sprinkle the grated Romano cheese over the salad and give it a final toss.
Add the cheese just before serving to maintain its texture.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy!
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
