Ingredients
Dressing
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
Salad
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas drained
- 1 small red onion halved and sliced paper-thin
- 8 ounces Provolone cheese sliced into ¼-inch ribbons
- 4 ounces salami sliced into ¼-inch ribbons
- 4 ounces pepperoni sliced into ¼-inch ribbons
- 6 Pepperoncini peppers sliced into thin rings
- 1 head iceberg lettuce halved, cored, and sliced into ¼-inch strips
- 1 head radicchio halved, cored, and sliced into ¼-inch strips
Instructions
- Using a grinder or crucible, crush together the garlic, oregano, and salt until grainy paste forms. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the lemon juice and red wine vinegar. Once the salt dissolves, whisk in the olive oil.
- Add the chickpeas, red onion, provolone, salami, and pepperoni to the bowl and toss well with the dressing. Add the pepperoncini and toss once more.
- Add half of the lettuce and radicchio and carefully toss to coat, then add the remaining lettuce and radicchio and toss once more. Serve immediately and enjoy!
