Ingredients
  

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce chopped
  • ¼ lb Italian salami julienned
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 15.5 oz can garbanzo beans (drained)
  • cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp salt + pepper
  • ¼ cup grated Pecorino or Parmesan plus extra for topping

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Make the dressing
  • Whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until blended.
  • Step 2: Add ingredients
  • Toss lettuce, salami, mozzarella, and garbanzo beans into the bowl. Mix until coated evenly.
  • Step 3: Finish and serve
  • Sprinkle extra Pecorino or Parmesan on top. Adjust salt/pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

I use Dijon mustard instead of dry mustard for convenience, but feel free to swap if you prefer. For a vegetarian version, skip the salami. Add roasted peppers or tomatoes for extra crunch. Romaine works as an alternative if iceberg lettuce isn’t available.
