Contemporary, tangy, salty, savory… this Italian chopped salad has acquired all of it. Made with a mixture of crunchy greens, meaty salami and prosciutto, creamy mozzarella cheese, and zesty Italian dressing, its impressed by our favourite chopped salad on the town right here within the Twin Cities — Punch Pizza’s chopped Italian salad.
Three parts make up this salad, and it’s tremendous simple to arrange:

Deliver all of it collectively on the finish, and omg it’s so dang good.
No laborious emotions, lettuce. We initially made this salad with greens, too, however we discovered that the opposite components had been so flavorful and hearty that they didn’t want the additional greens. It reminded us of all the explanations we ❤️ our OG no lettuce salad recipe.
In case you can’t justify not having greens, be happy to toss in 4 oz. of spring combine or chopped romaine to the salad!
Make this recipe a pasta salad by tossing in 4 oz. of cooked pasta. It’s possible you’ll need to add somewhat additional dressing in case you go this route.
Don’t have garbanzo beans? Be happy to substitute any sort of bean for the garbanzo beans.
This salad is greatest loved contemporary, however if in case you have leftovers, retailer them in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as 2 days. We advocate storing the dressing individually and including it simply earlier than serving to stop the salad from getting soggy.
