Scale
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

- ⅓ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1 head shredded iceberg lettuce (5-6 cups)
- 1 head shredded romaine lettuce (4-5 cups)
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ¼ lb Italian salami thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
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.
- 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: this 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.
