Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head Crisp Iceberg Lettuce
  • Savory Beef Salami (thinly sliced)
  • Creamy Mozzarella Cheese (cut into small cubes)
  • Canned Chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
  • Ripe Roma Tomatoes (diced)
  • Crunchy Red Cabbage (finely shredded)
  • ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Sugar or non-alcoholic sweetener
  • Pinch of Dried Oregano (optional)
  • Pinch of Garlic Powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine about ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon of sugar or your preferred non-alcoholic sweetener. Whisk or shake vigorously until thoroughly emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  2. Take your head of iceberg lettuce and quarter it. Finely shred or dice the lettuce into small, uniform pieces.
  3. Lay out your slices of beef salami and stack them. Dice them into small, even cubes, similar in size to your chopped lettuce. Do the same with your fresh mozzarella.
  4. Rinse your chickpeas thoroughly and drain them well. Finely dice your Roma tomatoes into small cubes. Thinly slice or finely shred a small wedge of red cabbage.
  5. In a very large mixing bowl, gently add all your prepared ingredients: the chopped iceberg lettuce, diced beef salami, diced mozzarella, rinsed chickpeas, diced Roma tomatoes, and shredded red cabbage.
  6. Just before you’re ready to eat, pour about half of your prepared dressing over the chopped ingredients. Gently toss the salad until all components are lightly coated.
  7. Transfer the perfectly tossed La Scala Chopped Salad to individual plates and serve right away.
