What would a holiday meal be without an italian antipasto salad! Again, you could substitute any of the meats for something else or add marinated mushrooms. The italian tradition salad I remember while I was growing up had pickled eggplant strips and anchovies! I sometimes put them in a dish on the side for those who still prefer this but actually I like this without the additions.
