Today’s Italian chopped salad recipe is one that is full of flavor. It has a flavorful dressing along with many ingredients in the salad that are flavorful too!
This salad includes summer sausage, provolone cheese, marinated artichokes, and stuffed olives. I love the saltiness that the stuffed olives have but you could always use regular old black olives, which are less salty in flavor, in their place. I just love the flavor combination of these ingredients. It’s like an Italian sub but in salad form.
This Italian Chopped Salad is another salad that is hearty enough you can serve it as a main dish or share it as a pot luck meal.
