Ingredients
For the salad
- 6 cups salad mix including iceburg lettuce (or romaine, purple cabbage, and shredded carrots)
- ¼ red onion sliced
- 8 mild pepperoncinis
- 2 roma tomatoes sliced
- 1 cup black olives
- 1 cup croutons
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the dressing
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine salad mix, red onion, pepperoncinis, tomatoes, and black olives. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In a large mason jar, add dressing ingredients. Shake until blended.
- To serve, top salad with croutons, parmesan cheese, and Italian dressing. ENJOY.
Notes
- Don’t be shy with the dressing! This dressing is made to be used liberally and is so tasty you won’t regret it.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor. The classic “green cap” parmesan will work in a pinch, but you lose out on some flavor and melt-y texture by not grating your own.
- I love using plum tomatoes like a Roma, but you can also use cherry tomatoes. There is a higher ratio of skin-to-flesh with cherries, making those bites a bit chewier than if you use Romas. I’d recommend halving cherry tomatoes if you go that route.
- Don’t want it spicy? Try it with artichoke hearts instead of pepperoncini.
- Or if you’re looking for a crispy crunch, try adding a few thin-sliced cucumbers for an extra-summer flavor. I like English cucumbers because they are seedless and grow with a thinner skin.
