Ingredients
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves minced garlic
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 head shredded iceberg lettuce (equivalent to 5–6 cups)
1 head shredded romaine lettuce (equivalent to 4–5 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 pound (4 ounces) Italian salami, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1-Prepare the dressing: Prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and grated cheese in a small bowl until well combined.
2-In a large bowl: combine the shredded iceberg and romaine lettuce, chickpeas, Italian salami, and mozzarella cheese for the salad base.
3-Chop all ingredients to the same size for optimal texture, then pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
4-Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crunchy bite. For leftovers, store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, and keep the dressing separate if preparing in advance to maintain crispness.
5-To enhance the lettuce’s crunch, soak the shredded lettuce in ice water for 5 minutes before draining and patting it dry.
