When you’re looking for an easy, meal-in-one salad, this Pizza Salad is the winner. With mozzarella and salami, and loads of crunch, it’s a whole meal in one.
It’s salad season, and I love salads – because they’re so fresh, and they rarely require turning on the oven to create. This Pizza Salad has proteins with the cheeses, salami and chickpeas, so it’s filling, while still have freshness from the two different types of lettuce; iceberg and cos lettuce.
What to serve with Pizza Salad
While pizza salad is a meal in itself, it also works served alongside other proteins, or even (dare I say it?) pizza as well. I like it served with BBQ chicken or even steak.

1/2 iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 baby cos lettuce, chopped
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
150g salami slices, chopped
2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
Instructions

- Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss to dress. Eat immediately.
Notes
To make ahead: Prepare all the salad ingredients and leave the dressing off until ready to serve.
Mozzarella cheese: It’s best to grate your own cheese, as it’s softed than the already grated cheese – but to save time feel free to use whatever works!
