This gourmet salad is a true feast for the senses, a flavourful blend of fresh tastes and textures. At the heart of this creation, Gourmet Medley Tomatoes burst with colour and flavour, the perfect complement to crunchy romaine lettuce. Genoa salami and turkey breast give the dish rich flavour as black olives add a subtle touch of refined bitterness. The melty, creamy Italian cheese blend ties all the flavours together, adding a savory dimension that tickles the taste buds. Nourishing chickpeas confer an intriguing texture, while freshly chopped basil adds an aromatic note. Each bite of this salad is a discovery, a perfect balance of flavour and texture, all beautifully rounded out by a rich, velvety balsamic vinaigrette.

- Add a drizzle of balsamic cream just before serving for a sweet, elegant finishing touch.
- For a burst of colour and spice, add thin slices of radish or red bell pepper.
