Steps
- Prep the Base: Start by thoroughly washing and drying the iceberg and romaine lettuces. Use a sharp knife to chop the leaves into small, even pieces. The smaller the chop, the better the texture.
- Add the Fillers: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced salami, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan if using.
- Make the Dressing: In a jar or bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk until the dressing emulsifies.
- Toss to Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything well to ensure each bite is coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.
- Serve Immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh to keep the lettuce crisp and vibrant.
