Notes

• Between my 7 year old and 3 year old, they make this on their own (under my watchful eye of course!) Max slices while Alex crumbles the cheese and pulls the ham apart. It’s a very yummy salad I don’t mind eating at all.
• If your olives have pips, simply squash with your palm and then tear them in half removing the pip- something we all love to do.
• If olives don’t work for you, try nuts or dried cranberries.
