Nancy Silverton's Chopped Salad | Genius Recipes

Start by preparing the dressing with 2 cloves of garlic and 1 clove of roasted garlic.

Add 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, the juice of 1 lemon, salt, and pepper to the garlic.

Stir the dressing together and let it marinate for about 5 minutes.

Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.

Prepare the onion by separating the layers and stacking them to slice them 1/16 inch thick.

Soak the sliced onion in ice water to reduce its pungency.

Slice radicchio and add it to the salad for a slightly bitter taste.

Salt the tomatoes on their own to enhance their flavor as they sit.

Combine the iceberg lettuce, radicchio, matchsticks of genoa salami, matchsticks of aged provolone, pre-salted tomatoes, thinly sliced pepperoni, and drained soaked onion in a bowl.

Squeeze more lemon juice over the salad and add the oregano vinaigrette.

Toss everything together and plate the salad like a mountain.
