Dressing

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

Salad

  • 1 head shredded iceberg lettuce (5-6 cups)
  • 1 head shredded romaine lettuce (4-5 cups)
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • ¼ lb Italian salami thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

Dressing Preparation

  • 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.

Salad Assembly

  • To a large bowl, add the shredded lettuce, chickpeas, Italian salami, and mozzarella cheese. Pour the prepared dressing on top and toss to coat.

Serving

  • 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

Shortcuts: purchase pre-shredded lettuce to save time chopping. 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.
