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

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!

Notes

  • I recommend a medium-to-large-sized head of lettuce for this salad.
  • Serving size and nutrition is based on enjoying this salad as a full meal.
