Ingredients

  • 1 cup salami
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup olives, pitted
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 head radicchio, torn
  • 1/4 cup pre-sliced pepperoncini
  • 1 (8-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Gather the salad ingredients.
  2. Chop the salami, cherry tomatoes, and olives. You can cut them any way you like, just try to make them bite-sized so they are easier to eat.
  3. Place the greens and torn radicchio in a large salad bowl, and top with the chopped salami, cherry tomatoes, olives, pepperoncini, chickpeas, and mozzarella cheese. Toss all ingredients to combine so the toppings are evenly distributed.
  4. Gather the dressing ingredients.
  5. Whisk together the dressing ingredients until combined.
  6. Drizzle the salad dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
  7. Serve immediately with crusty bread as a starter, or alongside a meal.
