Ingredients Needed

Salami. I like to buy high quality salami for the ultimate flavor. You can use any salami of choice. I fine the round cut slices are easiest to chop into bite sized pieces.

Pepperoni. Not a traditional ingredient in Italian salads but I love the soft texture it brings mixed with salami.

Romaine Lettuce. I love romaine it is one of my favorite salad bases with the crunch, but please feel free to use spinach or any other green you prefer.

Peperoncini. These little peppers add a great mild tangy pepper that are pickled and offer a great zest.

Black Olives. I just used canned, pitted black olives. They add a little salt and texture.

Red Onion. Red onion adds a bit of flavor and color to the zesty salad.

Tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are perfect for this chopped italian salad. But you can really use any tomato of choice.

Parmesan. Shaved or shredded Parmesan is the nutty/salty gold in this salad, it pairs so well.

Mozzarella. Use shredded mozzarella or mini mozzarella balls in this salad.

Wraps. Use your favorite store bought wrap a burrito sized tortilla will also work well.

Zesty Italian Dressing

Seasoning. Garlic, dried oregano, salt, pepper, dried basil, red pepper flakes.

Red Wine Vinegar. You can use a white vinegar but I prefer the red wine vinegar for flavor I find it’s a bit less harsh with flavor.

Olive Oil. A high quality neutral extra virgin oil will work best.

Dijon Mustard. This is optional but it adds a little extra tang to the recipe!

Steps To Make This Recipe

Step One. Start with chopping the romaine and add it to a big bowl. Next, chop all the other ingredients into small bites. Add them all to a big bowl.

Step Two. Make dressing. Simply add the dressing Ingredients to a jar and shake or to a bowl and whisk well, pour over salad immediately after. When making the dressing ahead of time, be sure to shake or mix well before adding to the salad as the seasonings can settle to the bottom.

Step Three. Let the salad rest for a bit, 5-10 minutes and let it soak up the dressing and soften. This will help keep the wraps together. Once it’s softened, assemble the Italian wrap and enjoy!
