My friend Leigh Ann and I share a love of so many of the same things: all things Southern, great food, dance, Disney and family. So when she sends me a recipe and tells me I need to make it, I listen. Especially when said recipe includes Garlic Expressions.
LA knows that Garlic Expressions is my favorite salad dressing ever, so when she sent me this recipe for Pizza Salad, I didn’t delay in getting it on our table. It sounded like something we would love, and needless to say, we devoured it.
This is such a fun salad because it really does have all those flavors you love on a pizza, just piled into a big bowl of crisp iceberg lettuce. Between the provolone, sun dried tomatoes, pepperoncini and herbs, there is plenty going on, and the creamy dressing brings everything together.
I happened to have some pepperoni in the refrigerator, so I sliced a handful of those in half and tossed them in too. I’m not sure a salad called Pizza Salad could possibly object to the addition of pepperoni.
It was easy, delicious and definitely one we’ll make again. I also think it would be a great one to take to a cookout or serve alongside grilled chicken, burgers or, for that matter, actual pizza.
Pizza Salad
Ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded or torn
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 handful fresh chives, diced
- 8 slices provolone cheese, diced (my package came with 10, so naturally I used them all)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 6 to 8 pepperoncini, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Italian herbs
- 1/2 cup Garlic Expressions salad dressing
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of pepperoni slices, halved, optional
Mix the mayonnaise and Garlic Expressions together until well combined. Add the lettuce, onion, chives, provolone, sun-dried tomatoes, pepperoncini, Italian herbs and pepperoni, if using, to a large bowl and toss everything together. When you’re ready to serve, drizzle the dressing over the salad, add the Parmesan and toss well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
And now I will leave you with the same important question I had for Leigh Ann: What’s your mayo?
I am a Duke’s girl through and through. She is a Hellmann’s girl.
I love her anyway.
