Anytime I see a chop chop salad on a restaurant menu, I order it. I love all the bits chopped up in small pieces so you get a ton of different flavors in each bite. There are a million different variations but I think salami is a must in a chop chop salad.
Ingredients:
3 cups julienne-sliced romaine lettuce
1 tablespoon julienne-sliced fresh basil
2 tablespoons Italian provolone cheese , cut in 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup garbanzo beans
2 tablespoons Genoa salami or 2 tablespoons wine salami
3 tablespoons powdered parmesan cheese
¼ cup julienne-sliced smoked turkey breast
Chopped tomato (I used grape tomatoes)
Freshly cracked pepper
Dressing
¾ cup balsamic vinegar
3 finely minced garlic cloves
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups olive oil
Directions:
Make dressing in a mixing bowl. Whisk 2-3 minutes. Slowly add oil to emulsify. Refrigerate until needed.
Combine greens, basil, provolone, garbanzos, salami in a bowl; add ½ cup dressing. Toss to combine. Add parmesan, turkey, tomato and toss.
