Dressing Instructions

  • Add all of the salad dressing ingredients to a small bowl or small jar. Whisk everything together or close the lid and shake to combine.

Salad Instructions

  • To a large bowl, add the shredded lettuce, chickpeas, Italian salami, and mozzarella cheese. Pour the prepared dressing on top and toss to coat.

Notes

Shortcuts: purchase pre-shredded lettuce to save time chopping. Italian Salami is different than lunchmeat or shaved salami you will find at the deli. I found it next to the specialty cheese section in our local grocery store.
