Chopped Salad Appetizer Shells
Ingredients:
Salad
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
3/4 cup chopped peeled cucumber
3 ounces Italian salami, chopped
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Dressing
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs
1/8 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cook shells in plenty of boiling water
according to package directions, being
careful not to overcook them. Rinse in cold
water; set aside. (For advance prep tip, see
note at end).

Chop all salad ingredients, making sure you
have all the pieces quite small so that you
can easily stuff the salad into the shells.
Make dressing; pour over salad and toss
lightly. Add salt and pepper if desired.
Stuff salad into cooled shells (now you will
understand why you chopped the ingredients
into small pieces!).
Refrigerate up to 4 hours before serving.
Advance preparation tip from a reviewer:
"The day before, I cooked the shells to al-
dente, rinsed them in cool water, separated
them and let them cool. Then, I put them in
a zip lock. I chopped everything for the
salad part and put it in a zip lock, without
the dressing. The next day, I mixed the
dressing into the salad and stuffed the
shells. Worked like a dream.".
