This Chopped Salad Recipe takes all the ingredients you love in a submarine sandwich and transforms them into a satisfying low-carb meal.

Why You Must Make

• This delicious entree salad is from my friend, fellow blogger, and cookbook author, Alyssa Brantley, of Everyday Maven. Check out her latest cookbook: The “I Don’t Want to Cook Book”: Dinners Done in One Pot (amazon affiliate link).
• This Italian chopped salad is a terrific entree to make for lunch with your girlfriends.
• It’s a low-carb salad that’s packed with flavor.

Ingredient Notes

• Kitchen Staples – Kosher Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Red Wine Vinegar
• Avocado Oil – Extra Virgin Olive Oil can be substituted.
• Sliced Provolone Cheese – Cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Sliced Ham – Cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Sliced Genoa Salami – Cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Sliced Pepperoni – Cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Grape Tomatoes – Slice lengthwise. You may also use sliced or halved cherry tomatoes.
• Sweet Onion – Use half, peel, then cut into thin slices (I used a yellow onion).
• Shredded Iceberg Lettuce – Look for an 8-ounce bag in the produce aisle or shred your own from a head of iceberg lettuce.

Recipe Tips

• For some extra pizzazz, top this chopped Italian salad with some chopped mild or hot cherry peppers.
• If you’re not on a low-carb diet, make some croutons by sauteing bread cubes (from a baguette or another loaf of bread) in a mixture of salted butter and olive oil. Sprinkle a few homemade croutons over each serving for a delicious crunch.
• If you’d like less intense onion flavor, soak your chopped onions in ice water to remove some of the bite. Drain on a cloth or paper towel before using.
• To avoid soggy lettuce, don’t add the dressing until you’re ready to serve the salad.
