This is supposed to be the original chopped salad recipe, created by the owner of the La Scala restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1950's. I think it sounds pretty tasty, 50 years later!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard or 3/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
salt and pepper
1 head iceberg lettuce, rinsed and finely chopped
1/3 head romaine lettuce, rinsed and finely chopped
1/4 lb italian salami, julienned
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and well-drained
chopped tomato (optional)
basil leaves, shredded (optional)
Directions:
1. To make vinaigrette: combine oil, vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste; whisk until well blended. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine lettuces, salami, mozzarella, and garbanzo beans. Toss with vinaigrette to taste.
3. Garnish with tomato and basil if desired.
