LOItalian Chopped Salad 🥗🔪
This *Incredible* Italian Chopped Salad is what I make when I want something fresh, filling, and borderline addictive.
No cooking. No stove. No stress. It comes together in 10 minutes (or faster, if you chop chop!), is high protein, and packed with an incredible amount of micronutrients to actually fuel your body, not just fill it. It’s crunchy, savory, salty in the best way, and one of those meals that somehow feels both light and satisfying. Perfect for busy weekdays, lazy dinners, or when you want something healthy without feeling like you’re “dieting.”
[Recipe]
For the salad…
3 c butter or romaine lettuce, chopped
3 c mixed greens, chopped
1/2 c green olives, sliced
2/3 c cherry tomatoes, chopped
1/4 c shallot, diced
1/3 c chickpeas
1/2 c black olives, sliced
1/4 c pepperoncini, sliced
1 c pepperoni, cubed
1 c salami, cubed
For the dressing…
1/2 Tbs garlic purée
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1 Tbs Italian seasoning
2 Tbs pepperoncini brine from the jar
1/4 c red wine vinegar
1/2 c olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
Chop the vegetables and add to a large mixing bowl. Cube or chop the pepperoni and salami - you can also add some grilled chicken for extra protein - and add the meats to the bowl as well. To make the dressing, add all the ingredients to a jar with a lid and give it a shake. Pour the dressing over the salad, give it a toss, and serve! If you’re not dairy free, chopped mozzarella or shaved Parmesan are excellent additions to this salad.
If you’re looking for a quick high-protein salad, a no-cook healthy meal, or an easy Italian-inspired recipe that tastes like something you’d order out, this one’s it.
Save this for your next no-cook meal, share with someone who loves a good chopped salad, and follow for more real-life healthy dinners ✨
