Italian Chopped Salad
Description
This salad features thin ribbons of romaine lettuce topped with alternating rounds of provolone and hard salami slices, adding creamy and savory notes. Red onion slices, diced cherry tomatoes, and mild pepperoncini bring brightness and slight heat, balanced by chopped fresh parsley.
The dressing is a simple vinaigrette of extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, whisked together to complement and enhance the ingredients without overpowering them. Tossing the salad with the dressing just before serving ensures freshness.
This chopped salad works well as a crisp side dish or a light main for warmer days and pairs nicely with Italian or casual meals.
