Italian Chopped Salad

Italian Chopped Salad

There is something about a chopped salad that's hard to argue with, especially when you go Italian style!

All your favorite flavors in one meal, one bowl, and one bite. 

I created this recipe when I was craving a salad with some zing. The pepperoncini, black olives, and Italian dressing really help to take It over the top in flavor. 

This would be the perfect dinner party salad because comes together in less than 15 minutes and comes to impress. Throw It all in a bowl and enjoy!
