• 2 cups red, yellow or green bell peppers, chopped
• 1 small red onion, chopped

• Small portions of herbs basil, rosemary, thyme and black pepper, to taste
• 6 ounces cheddar cheese shredded (use veggie cheese for dairy free)
• 2 ounces lean ham, cut into ¼-inch sizes

Directions

Note: This recipe works great if you use a glass bowl or 11- by 7-inch glass pan so your guests can see the loveliness of the layers.

1. Mix mayo with the yogurt, spices and diced celery. Set aside.
2. Layer the salad using this sequence:

• Greens
• Cherry tomatoes
• Bell peppers
• Onions
• The mayo mixture, spread evenly
• Hardboiled eggs
• Cheddar cheese or veggie cheese
• Diced ham

  3. Once layered, you can add additional season to the top, or just serve.
