Italian Chopped Salad - Rattling Scrumptious

Crisp lettuce, cubed mozzarella, and diced salami in a pink wine French dressing. So colourful, so vibrant, and so so good!

Salad for dinner? Sure, please!

This salad is something however boring right here. Loaded with crisp romaine and radicchio lettuce, cubed mozzarella, dry Italian salami and a vibrant pink wine French dressing, this salad will knock your socks off.

The do-it-yourself dressing is totally key right here. The ingredient listing is brief too with only a few pantry staples – further virgin olive oil, pink wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic, oregano and crushed pink pepper flakes (for a little bit bit of warmth, if desired).

And one of the best half? Prep time is stored to a minimal as there may be zero cooking concerned and every little thing will be diced/prepped/assembled beforehand. Simply remember to toss your salad proper earlier than serving for max freshness. And don’t overlook so as to add your ending touches with freshly shaved Parm!
