Notes

Chop everything small and evenly – this is what gives you that true chopped salad texture where every bite has balanced flavor.
Add dressing right before serving – this keeps the lettuce crisp and prevents a soggy salad.
Use good-quality salami and olive oil – simple ingredients matter here and make a big difference in flavor
