Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the iceberg lettuce to ensure the dressing adheres properly.
  2. Dice the lettuce into small, uniform bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Finely chop the Italian salami into small pieces to distribute flavor evenly throughout the salad.
  4. Cut the mozzarella cheese into small cubes or crumble it for a lighter texture.
  5. Drain and rinse the canned garbanzo beans, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
  6. Combine the chopped salami, mozzarella, and garbanzo beans with the diced lettuce in the bowl.
  7. Prepare the parmesan dressing by whisking grated parmesan, olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings until smooth.
  8. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or parmesan if desired.
  10. Serve immediately while the lettuce is still crisp and fresh.
