INGREDIENTS
2 cups Romaine Lettuce
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Sliced Cucumber
1/4 cup Diced Red Onion
3 ounces Lean Deli Turkey
2 ounces Lean Deli Ham
1 ounce Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Chickpeas
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl along with the sliced cucumber and diced red onion.
Cut the deli turkey and ham into small pieces or strips. Add these to the salad bowl along with the low-fat mozzarella cheese, either cubed or torn into bite-sized pieces.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then add them to the bowl for extra texture and protein.
In a small jar or bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk or shake well until the dressing emulsifies.
Drizzle the zesty vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all flavors.
Season with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Italian-inspired salad.
