Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and patted very dry
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
18 ounces romaine
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pitted black olives
4 ounces chopped salami
3 ounces shredded mozzarella
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the crispy ranch chickpeas: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil and salt and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once halfway, until lightly browned and crisp on the outside, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • While the chickpeas are baking, combine the parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, thyme, sugar and a few turns of pepper in a small bowl.
  • While the chickpeas are still warm, toss with the seasoning. Taste and adjust as desired. They will continue to crisp as they cool. Set aside 3/4 cup for the salad (reserve the rest for another use).
  • For the dressing: Put the oil, vinegar, oregano, sugar and some salt and pepper in a jar with a lid, secure the lid and shake to combine.
  • For the pizza parlor salad: Add the romaine lettuce to a large bowl. Top with the cherry tomatoes, red onion, black olives, salami, mozzarella, 3/4 cup of the crispy ranch chickpeas and some black pepper. Serve with the dressing on the side.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few odds and ends in my fridge, and this salad is a great way to use them up.
