Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. (10 oz. / 286 g) DOLE® Italienne Chop Chop Salade Kit
  • 2 oz. (2 sticks) turkey pepperoni, chopped - I used 2 oz. salami
  • 6.5 oz. artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (almost 1 can)
  • 8 oil cured black olives and 12 pimento-stuffed green olives, halved
  • 6 peperoncini peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 30 grams cubed mozzarella, feta or cheddar
  • 1 about 1 tablespoon red wine vinaigrette or regular Italian salad dressing
  • handful of homemade croutons (added to each bowl when serving)
  • Salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.

I found that the dressing wasn't tart enough with all the fatty stuff in here. Add a tablespoon or two of red wine vinaigrette or regular Italian dressing to even it out. I tried just vinegar, which didn't work and balsamic vinaigrette, which is what I had already made and it didn't either.
