Ingredient list

8 slices deli-style ham (1/2 oz. each)
8 slices Genoa salami (1/3 oz. each)
8 sharp cheddar cheese slices (3/4 oz. each)
4 lettuce leaves, each torn into 12 small pieces
6 small plum tomatoes, each cut into 8 slices
48 RITZ Crackers
¼ cup creamy Italian dressing

Directions

Stack 1 slice EACH ham, salami and cheese. Repeat with remaining meat and cheese slices to make 7 additional stacks, varying the order of the 3 slices. Use 1-1/2x1-inch football or oval-shaped cookie or canapé cutter to cut 6 shapes out of each stack for the footballs. Reserve meat and cheese trimmings for another use. (See tip.)

Cover crackers with lettuce, tomatoes and football-shaped cutouts.

Pour dressing into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to drizzle dressing over cutouts to resemble the football laces.
