Instructions

Prepare the dressing by finely mincing the garlic.
Combine all dressing ingredients in a mason jar and shake well to mix.
Set the dressing aside until needed.
For the salad, slice the kale and romaine lettuce into ½" strips.
Julienne the swiss cheese, ham, and tomatoes into small strips.
In a large bowl, combine the kale, lettuce, cheese, ham, tomatoes, olives, and ¾ of the parmesan cheese. Toss to mix well.

This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for a day, but the dressing should be added just before serving.
