This Famous La Scala Chopped Salad is a legendary Beverly Hills favorite made with finely chopped lettuce, salami, mozzarella, and a tangy Dijon vinaigrette. It’s crisp, flavorful, and perfect as a light main or a starter.

Ingredients

  • 1 head romaine lettuce, finely chopped
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
  • 1/4 lb salami, julienned
  • 1/4 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded or julienned
  • 1/4 cup garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine, iceberg lettuce, salami, mozzarella, and garbanzo beans.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss well to evenly coat.
  5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a short time before serving for a crisp, chilled salad.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the salami.
  • You can use provolone or another cheese instead of mozzarella.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be prepped ahead and dressed before serving.
