Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup basil vinaigrette
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ cup banana peppers roughly chopped or left whole
- ¼ cup green olives
- ¼ cup pepperoncini roughly chopped or left whole
- 15 oz canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup Italian salami cut into bite-size pieces or strips
- ¼ cup sharp provolone cheese cut into bite-size pieces or strips
- 4 oz Crisp lettuce roughly chopped
Instructions
- Make the salad dressing. If you haven't already, make a batch of our Basil Vinaigrette.
- Assemble the mason jar salad. Pour about ¼ cup of the basil vinaigrette into each mason jar. Next, add ½ tsp dried oregano. Begin assembling the ingredients, dividing them equally between each container, keeping non-absorbent veggies on the bottom: banana peppers, green olives, pepperoncini, and canned chickpeas. Next, add the Italian salami and provolone cheese. Finally, place the chopped lettuce on top. Seal tightly, then refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Toss, then serve. When ready, dump the contents of the grinder salad into a large bowl. Use tongs to thoroughly mix, then divide between two plates and serve immediately!
Notes
- Make ahead: Store assembled mason jar salads in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Once dressed, keep leftovers up to 2 days and add fresh lettuce if needed. Do not freeze.
