My favorite Italian chopped salad recipe is fresh, hearty, and bursting with zesty Italian flavors in each bite.
Is there anything better than a really good Italian chopped salad? ♡
My favorite take on this classic is crafted with the perfect balance of bold flavors and fresh textures to ensure that every bite is downright irresistible. Crisp Romaine and raddichio bring the crunch, while savory salami adds a punch of zesty, meaty flavor. Juicy cherry tomatoes, briny olives and zesty pepperoncini add pops of brightness, and a mix of creamy mozzarella and salty Parmesan gives it that perfect cheesy. Everything gets tossed together with a simple red wine vinaigrette. Then the magic of a well-chopped salad is that you get a little taste of everything in each bite — so good!
This Italian chopped salad is honestly fantastic on its own, but you could also pair it with your favorite pasta, grilled protein, or hunk of crusty bread. I’ve also included lots of options below for potential ingredient add-ins, so don’t hesitate to customize this recipe and make it your own. However you serve it, this salad is sure to be a winner!
