    Finely chopped kale, treviso, salami, provolone cheese tossed with a zesty pepperoncini vinaigrette! This California chopped salad is a meal all on its own or pair it with your favorite homemade pizza!

    This hearty salad is packed with all of my favorite California-Italian flavors; salami, provolone cheese, pepperoncini, and olives. Finely chopping all of the ingredients ensures that you get a little bit of everything in each bite! All of these delicious ingredients are tossed together with a zesty pepperoncini vinaigrette.

    One of Los Angeles’ best and longest-standing Italian restaurants Mozza is located just down the street from my apartment! They’re famous for a few menu items but most notably their chopped salad. It’s not always easy to get a table at Mozza so I created this recipe inspired by Chef Nancy Silverton’s Chopped Salad, that way I can enjoy the Mozza magic at home!
