Method
Take two large leak-proof containers, and mix half the ingredients for the dressing in each one. Layer the salad ingredients on top, starting with the salami followed by the cheese, olives, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, pepper, lettuce and croutons, in that order, so that the more tender veg doesn’t soften in the dressing. Pack into a cool bag with an ice pack.
Just before eating, shake the salad well until everything is coated in the creamy dressing.
