Italian Chopped Salad
This salad is anything but boring here. Loaded with crisp romaine and radicchio lettuce, cubed mozzarella, dry Italian salami and a vibrant red wine vinaigrette, this salad will knock your socks off.
And the best part? Prep time is kept to a minimum as there is zero cooking involved and everything can be diced/prepped/assembled beforehand. Just be sure to toss your salad right before serving for maximum freshness. And don’t forget to add your finishing touches with freshly shaved Parm!
