Salad

I made the most scrumptious salad for dinner last night. I just had to share. This Italian Chopped Salad eats more like a meal. Everyone will leave satisfied and wanting it for lunch the next day. So good!

Ingredients

For The Salad

1 head of romaine lettuce, washed and roughly chopped

1/3 cup chopped pepperoncini, sliced

4 oz fresh, buffalo mozzarella, roughly torn

½ cup chickpeas drained and rinsed

2 oz salami, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 baby cucumber, thinly sliced

1 shallot or 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1 chicken breast, dry rubbed with your rub of choice, grilled, chopped

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1 teaspoon dried oregano

In a separate bowl, mix all dressing ingredients together in a mason jar. Top with lid and shake to make sure mixture is emulsified.

Dress your salad with salad dressing, toss and serve!
