Scala Famous Salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dressing

01 - ⅓ cup of Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, finely shredded

02 - 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

03 - 3 teaspoons Dijon or dry mustard

04 - 2 garlic cloves, minced

05 - ½ teaspoon black pepper and kosher salt

06 - ⅓ cup high-quality olive oil

→ Salad

07 - A mix of 5-6 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded

08 - 4-5 cups romaine lettuce, finely chopped

09 - ¼ lb (4 oz) Italian salami, thin slices

10 - 2 full cups of mozzarella, shredded

11 - A 15-ounce can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

# Instructions:

01 - Toss all the dressing components into a small bowl or jar. Either whisk until smooth or close the jar and shake really well.

02 - In a large salad bowl, combine the chickpeas, lettuce, mozzarella, and salami slices. Drizzle the dressing over everything, then toss gently.

03 - Enjoy this salad immediately while fresh. If saving for later, keep the dressing and salad separate in the fridge, and eat within a couple of days.

# Notes:

01 - This easy-to-make chopped salad is inspired by La Scala's classic. Mix everything together for a hearty dish or pair it with some protein for a filling side.

02 - Save time by grabbing pre-shredded lettuce.

03 - Italian salami isn’t just any deli meat; find it by the specialty cheeses in stores.

04 - For meal prep, store the dressing separately and mix when you’re ready to eat.
