Variations 

Veg Add other vegetables such as bell pepper, fresh cherry tomatoes, Sun-Dried Tomatoes or Peppers or even Olives. Spice Add some Spice to the dressing such as  pinch of Chilli Flakes or Smoked Paprika. Herbs Add some Herbs to the dressing such as dry Parsley, Thyme or Oregano. Nuts and Seeds Serve with a sprinkling of Nuts such as chopped Walnuts or Seeds such as Sunflower Seeds. Beans Add Beans to the recipes such as White Beans or Black Beans to make it more substantial. Cooked Chickpeas I know that this Salad is meant to be a cold chopped salad but I’ve tried it this way and it is so good! Simply heat 50 ml Olive Oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chickpeas, 1 clove sliced Garlic, a pinch of Smoked Paprika, a pinch of Cumin Powder and a sprinkling of Red Chilli Flakes. Season with Salt and Pepper and cook until golden brown. This will take 10 - 15 minutes. You can take a short cut by cooking them in Smoky or Rose Harissa instead. 

How to serve La Scala Salad

This recipe is substantial enough to be served alone but it is also great served with: Cooked Turkey Breast Cooked, shredded Chicken Breast -  Try it with this Healthy and Tender Ninja Foodi Chicken Breast or How to make juicy air fryer chicken breast in 20 minutes. Cooked Prawns - They it with Chilli Garlic Prawns or 5 Minute Lemon and Garlic Air Fryer Shrimp. Roast Veg - Such as Roast Mushrooms, Peppers or Aubergine for a veggie alternative. 

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. 

How to make ahead

To make it in advance, chop the salad leaves and salami and store separately in small airtight containers. Make the dressing in advance and store in a separate container. Store for up to 3 days. I wouldn’t recommend chopping or shredding the Mozzarella in advance.
