Recreate the Famous La Scala Chopped Salad
THE SALAD MOST SHAKEN & LOVED BY THE KARDASHIANS
If there’s one thing we know about the Kardashians, it’s that they love their food—especially when it’s healthy and delicious. And one salad that’s made a recurring appearance on their social media (and countless interviews) is the La Scala Chopped Salad. This iconic dish from the famous Beverly Hills restaurant has become a staple of their diet, and now you can recreate it at home! Whether you’re looking to eat like a Kardashian or just enjoy a fresh, tasty salad, here’s how you can whip up the perfect La Scala Chopped Salad in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup Iceberg lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup Chickpeas drained and rinsed
1/4 cup Salami, diced
1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
For the Dressing:
1/4 cup Olive oil
2 tbsp Grape vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp Honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp grated parmesan
1 Garlic clove, minced
Instructions:
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed—you want it tangy but balanced with just a hint of sweetness from the honey.
Marinate your chickpeas: Once the dressing is made, mix 2 tablespoons of your dressing with your chickpeas. This allows the chickpeas to absorb all of the flavours. Allow your chickpeas to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Veggies: Start by chopping up your Romaine lettuce and Iceberg lettuce. The key to this salad is the fine chop, so take your time to get everything nice and bite-sized.
Add the Protein: Slice salami into strips (this is a big part of what gives this salad its signature flavour).
Toss in the Extras: Add your marinated chickpeas and mozzarella cheese. These ingredients add not only flavoir but also a great texture to the salad.
Toss It All Together: Give your dressing a final stir and drizzle the dressing over your salad ingredients and toss everything together until all the veggies are evenly coated. The dressing really ties it all together, so don’t be shy with it!
Serve & Enjoy: Plate your salad, and enjoy!
Tips:
Customization: Try adding some diced chicken breast for extra protein.
You can even swap rocket for the iceberg to give it more nutrients and a peppery taste.Make it Ahead: This salad can be prepped ahead of time. Just store the veggies and protein separately from the dressing and combine them when you’re ready to eat. This makes it a great option for meal prep or an easy weeknight dinner.
There you have it! The La Scala Chopped Salad is fresh, full of flavor, and definitely worthy of a spot in your weekly rotation. Whether you’re channeling your inner Kardashian or just looking for a satisfying meal, this salad has all the right ingredients for a perfect bite. Enjoy!
