La Scala Chopped Salad for One Person
Servings: 4
My version of the famous La Scala Chopped Salad recipe, but prepped ahead for single portions!
Ingredients
Salad Base
- 1 head of iceberg letttuce - sliced super thin
- 1 head of romaine lettuce - sliced super thin
- 1 can of garbanzo beans - rinsed and drained
- 8 oz of salami about 1/2 a 15 oz package - sliced super thin
- 1 block of mozzarella cheese about 1 lb - shredded
- 1 wedge of pecorino romano cheese about 7 oz - grated
Dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 tbs red wine vinegar
- 3 tbs Dijon vinegar
- 4-6 cloves of garlic - minced or pressed
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- You can easily make this salad as one giant batch, but these instructions will allow you to make 4 individual servings. I recommend prepping all of the ingredients ahead of time and storing them in airtight containers or sealable bags.
- Slice your salami into thin ribbons. Rinse and drain your can of garbanzo beans. Combine both ingredients in a container.
- Shred and grate your cheeses & store in an airtight container.
- Shred (slice thinly) your lettuce and store in an airtight container or bag.
- Make your dressing by combining the ingredients and adding salt and pepper to taste. Store in a separate container.
- When you’re ready to serve, put 1/4 amount of the lettuce in a bowl & top with 1/4 of the salami/garbanzo bean mixture. Top with a handful of mozzarella and large pinch of romano cheese. Add about 2 tablespoons of dressing. Toss & serve!
