How to Prepare Italian Chopped Salad
🥬 Chop the lettuce and place it on a clean cutting board along with slices of prosciutto cotto, mortadella, provolone cheese, and pepperoncini. 🔪 Use a big sharp knife to chop everything as finely as possible. 🥣 You can transfer the chopped ingredients into a bowl and then add the dressing or simply add the dressing to the salad while it’s still on the cutting board. 🥒 Once everything is finely chopped, make the dressing by adding the add mayo, Italian seasoning, and pickled juice from the pepperoncini jar. 🥗 Mix everything well and your salad is ready to enjoy!
