Speaking of Monica I haven't done an In My Kitchen for a while now where I show you what's new in my kitchen and the whole roundup is hosted by the lovely Sherry from Sherry's Pickings. I have made this a few times since and I'll probably make a vegetarian version for barbecues and when the Elliotts come over. Usually you get slightly healthier proteins in salad but in a weird way salami works. I told Monica about this salad because we both really enjoy crunchy salads although neither of us have had salami in a salad before (sheltered much? haha). Adding mozzarella and salami works really well and because this makes enough to serve 4 for lunch or 6 as a side Mr NQN and I were eating it over a few meals and I never tired of it. I honestly did not expect to love this as much as I did but I really adored the crunchiness of the lettuce, the texture from the chickpeas and the simple vinaigrette. Salami in a salad is a new thing to me but I found that you can omit salami or you can replace it with crisp prosciutto, bacon, chicken breast, smoked chicken or sun dried tomato strips if you're vegetarian.īasically this chopped salad is VERY versatile! The original salad recipe calls for 1 head of iceberg and 1 head of romaine or cos lettuce but honestly I think the ratios work better with 1 head of iceberg lettuce. I've since made a few versions of this salad now that we are in our post pandemic/vege crisis season and you can now buy lettuce for around $2 a head. I got the recipe from the LA Times but I really liked the way that Gabrielle Quille styled hers with the chickpeas on top.

The chopped salad is called La Scala Original Chopped Salad™ and it is actually trademarked. Ls Scala is a restaurant in Beverly Hills, LA. This is a beautiful salad to serve with grilled meat or fish and is fresh, crunchy and delicious and made in about 10 minutes flat. This deliciously crunchy salad is said to be a favourite salad of the Kardashians and is made using a whole iceberg lettuce, chickpeas, salami, mozzarella and parmesan in a simple but tasty vinaigrette. Dear Reader this is the recipe for the famous La Scala chopped salad.
