Swiss Cheese Salad image

I entered this recipe that I created myself in a local cooking contest in 1980 - it took first prize! The salad complements any main dish and is also good for picnics or potlucks...just take the lettuce along in a plastic bag or container and toss with the cheese and vegetable mixture when you arrive.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also added some chopped hard-boiled eggs.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe (used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, added some chopped walnuts) and it was still delicious!
