Ingredients

• 5 pieces bologna slices
• 4 cups romaine lettuce
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup pickles, chopped
• 2 pieces white or wheat sandwich bread slices
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the salad base: wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl along with the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles.

Step 3

Stack the bologna slices and cut them into thin strips. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and lightly sauté the bologna strips for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisped. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 5

Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Once cooled, cut them into small crouton-sized squares and set aside.

Step 6

Add the cooled bologna strips to the salad base, then drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Divide the salad between two plates or bowls and top with the toasted sandwich bread croutons for an extra crunch.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Bologna Sandwich Salad packed with nostalgic flavors and fresh textures!
