LA SCALA'S FAMOUS CHOPPED SALAD MADE SKINNY



La Scala's Famous Chopped Salad Made Skinny image

Jean Leon opened La Scala in Beverly Hills in 1956. The restaurant is revered for its Original Chopped Salad. Considered by many to be L.A's definitive chopped. Their salad is wonderful in its simplicity-iceberg and romaine, mozzarella, Genoa salami, garbanzos, all finely chopped, tossed in vinaigrette, and topped with one Kalamata olive. It's available with many different customizations such as adding turkey, tuna, or chicken. I'm adding turkey to my recipe and making it skinnier by using only romaine lettuce, including chopped tomatoes, reduced-fat salami, light cheese, and dressing. Each main course salad has 298 calories and 13 grams of fat.
