Chopped Italian Salad, but make it Sunday Dinner worthy.

This one’s fresh, crunchy, and packed with flavor—but the real star of the show? The dressing. It’s zesty, a little sweet, and super aromatic thanks to the Classic Italian Dressing Mix from thespicehouse. It brings the perfect depth of flavor that ties the whole salad together.

Pro tip: Make extra. It always disappears fast.

🌿 For The Italian Dressing:
2 tbsp Classic Italian Dressing Mix
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar

🥗 For The Salad:
1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/3 cup sliced pepperoncini
1/2 cup provolone cheese, diced
1/3 cup crispy pancetta or cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
1/2 cup Genoa salami, sliced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Freshly ground Tellicherry Peppercorns, to taste

For the Classic Italian Dressing, add 2 tbsp Classic Italian Dressing Mix to a mason jar with 2/3 cup olive oil and 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, shake well. Make a day ahead for extra flavor, and store in the fridge for
up to one week.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, red onion, olives, and pepperoncini.

Toss in the provolone cheese, pancetta (if using), and salami.

Drizzle the salad generously with the Classic Italian Dressing and toss to coat evenly.

Finish the salad with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and freshly cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
