This salad is not your normal salad. It is pretty much a charcuterie board in the form of a salad haha. It is filling, tasty & channels all the best Italian flavors in one bowl. This is another husband approved salad!
Italian Chopped Salad
1 can chickpeas
1/2 bunch asparagus, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups chopped kale
1 small container of marinated mini mozzarella (I love the ones from Trader Joe’s)
1 package salami
1/2 red onion, chopped,
1 roasted red pepper, chopped,
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 tbsp Italian dressing
Leftover oil from marinated mozzarella
Preheat oven to 400 and place drained chickpeas and asparagus on baking sheet. Season with oil, salt & pepper and bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop kale & massage with 2 tbsp of Italian dressing. Chop up salami, cheese, onion & red pepper. Once chickpea/asparagus mix is done, add all ingredients into a bowl & dress with the oil left from marinated mozzarella. Enjoy!
