Equipment

Salad bowl
Mezzaluna optional

Ingredients

1 teaspoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups finely chopped romaine lettuce (about 1 head)
1/2 cup chopped deli turkey
1/2 cup chopped salami
1 small tomato, diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Place the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine.
Drizzle the dressing on top just before serving and toss to thoroughly coat.

Notes

Chop Evenly: Make sure to chop all ingredients to a similar size for a consistent bite. Alternatively, all of the salad ingredients can be placed together on a cutting board and chopped using a mezzaluna or chef's knife.
Serving Size: This recipe serves about 2-3 people as a main dish or 4-5 as a side. Adjust quantities as needed for larger gatherings. It'll be a hit, I promise!
Make Ahead: You can prep the ingredients and dressing ahead of time. Just keep them separate and toss together right before serving to keep the salad crisp.
