"Pizza Place" Salad

I don't know about you, but I have a delicious memory of growing up and getting a slice of a pizza and a crunchy salad with tart red wine vinaigrette. It was a little spicy, tangy, and so distinct. I wanted to recreate that salad and the pizza is optional (but never a bad idea!)

Makes 2 lunch size portions

Salad

1 head butter lettuce chopped

1/3 cup shredded carrots

1/3 cup cucumber chopped

1/3 cup bell pepper chopped

1/4 cup pitted olives chopped

1/3 cup tomatoes chopped

1/4 cup celery chopped

1/2 cup chopped rotisserie chicken (optional but great for a more complete lunch)

Red Wine Vinaigrette

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 tsp adobo seasoning

1/4 tsp flaky sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

pinch of red pepper flakes

Add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl.

In small bowl whisk all dressing ingredients until well combined

Slowly pour dressing into bowl. Use just enough so salad is lightly coated, do not overdress
