Preparation:

Starting with lettuce, line the pizza pan with each ingredient. Layering lettuce than spinach, ham, cheese, salami....etc. finishing with olives. (Any other favorite salad ingredient may be used, example: drained oil packed tuna in chunks or pieces of broccoli florets decorously placed.) When finished, you have a beautiful salad wheel reminiscent of a pizza, that can be prepared several hours ahead, covered and refrigerated. Just before serving, pour salad dressing over all. Anchovies may be added to the top or served on the side if desired. Cut into 10 pieces with a pizza cutter and serve with a wedge-shaped serving utensil. Stand back and listen to the raves! Not only does this make a beautiful presentation, it also tastes wonderful and serves very easy.
