Famous La Scala Chopped Salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dressing

01 - ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
02 - 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon dry mustard
05 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt and pepper
06 - ⅓ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese or grated parmesan cheese

→ Salad

07 - 1 head shredded iceberg lettuce (5-6 cups)
08 - 1 head shredded romaine lettuce (4-5 cups)
09 - 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
10 - ¼ lb (4 ounces) Italian salami, thinly sliced
11 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Add all of the salad dressing ingredients to a small bowl or small jar. Whisk everything together or close the lid and shake to combine.
02 - To a large bowl, add the shredded lettuce, chickpeas, Italian salami, and mozzarella cheese. Pour the prepared dressing on top and toss to coat.
03 - Enjoy this la scala salad recipe right away. Store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days. Store the dressing separately to prep in advance.

# Notes:

01 - Shortcuts: purchase pre-shredded lettuce to save time chopping.
02 - Italian Salami: this is different than lunchmeat or shaved salami you will find at the deli. I found it next to the specialty cheese section in our local grocery store.
