Chopped Italian Salad

Twas' the Monday after my cousin's bachelorette.. and the last soldiers standing (me and my other cousin) desperately needed a vegetable. Enter: the best Italian chopped salad I've ever had. Lucky for us, it was homemade pizza for dinner the night before, so all of the ingredients were at our disposal in the fridge already. Also please note that pro tip for future use; 1) homemade pizza night for dinner 2) followed by a stunning Italian chopped salad for lunch the next day. It's a win-win.

Granted it was one of the best weekends of the year, but this deliciously healthy salad waiting for us that following Monday was the icing on the cake. I love an Italian sub, and this salad is just that, but deconstructed. The salami mixed with mozzarella cheese and vinegar vegetables is impossible to beat. Plus the dressing?! My cousin introduced me to this simple Italian dressing and I haven't looked back. Hint: adds mayo to balsamic vinigarette. Just wait!
