Instructions

Remove the stem from the iceberg lettuce and cut the head into wedges.
Chop the lettuce into 1-inch pieces.
Rinse the chopped lettuce thoroughly, drain well, and place in a large bowl.
Add the sliced salami, chickpeas, and shredded mozzarella to the bowl.
Toss gently until evenly combined.
In a mason jar or small bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan.
Shake or whisk until the dressing is fully emulsified.
Pour desired amount of dressing over the salad.
Toss well to coat evenly.
Finish with extra Parmesan and black pepper if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

Keep dressing separate until serving to maintain crunch.

Iceberg lettuce provides the signature crisp texture.

Add dressing gradually to avoid sogginess.

Best enjoyed fresh.
