NYC X LA CHOPPED SALAD
Anyone from the Westside of LA has tried the La Scala Chopped Salad. For Kevin and me, La Scala is an institution and we have been going regularly our entire adult lives. When I went to USC I ate the Chopped Salad at least 3 times a week. Kevin and I could not find anything like it in New York, so I have been perfecting my own version at home. Below is my modified version that I make almost every night in some varied form for the family (If Kevin doesn’t eat it all first!)
1 bag (3 heads) of organic romaine lettuce, finely chopped
1 head of organic iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
12 slices of organic soppressata salami, finely chopped
1 C organic mozzarella, freshly grated
1/4 C pimiento peppers, finely chopped
JF Universal Salt, to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper
JF Simple Mustard Vinaigrette
Optional Add Ins:
Garbanzo beans, marinate them in my JF Simple Mustard Vinaigrette
Diced avocado
Diced English cucumber
Diced red or white onion
Diced pepperoncini
Diced tomato
Chopped bacon
Chopped turkey
Chopped grilled chicken
