This Salami Sandwich Salad recipe is so easy to make. On those crazy busy weeknights, this will be a fast dinner that will make everyone’s tummy’s smile. Also, It is a remix that takes the “insides” of that salami sandwich and marries it with Dijon vinaigrette to make a scrumptious salad. My favorite salad of all time was from Claire’s Corner Copia in New Haven. When I would have a bad day, I would order their Cobb salad with yummy cheese, crunchy lettuce, and amazing tangy dressing. Most of all, never forgot to get extra croutons because they have the best in the world. This recipe is my new go to comfort food.
Also, what I love about this salad recipe is that it’s super easy, and it combines all the peppery, sweet and salty flavors in one bite, not to mention that it’s pretty to look at. Finally, you can even change up the contents with whatever cold cuts and cheeses you have in the fridge.
Technique Tip: Do not drown your salad in to much dressing. Less is more! Pour the dressing on the greens with a teaspoon to lightly coat. You can always add more. When you use less dressing it does not drown out the flavors of the other ingredients.
Arugula is Packed with Good Stuff: This fabulous peppery green is not just yummy, its also good for you. Arugula is packed with protein, lots of fiber (makes you full faster), and the vitamins A (antioxidant) and C (immune booster). Also if you are trying to eat healthier, it packs big punch of tasty peppery flavor all on its own. This means you will love eating salad.
Make This Salad Recipe Your Way:
- Salami Sandwich Pasta Salad: mix the salad and dressing with cold pasta its yummy. Use whatever leftover lunch meat you have in the fridge instead of the salami.
- Vegetarian Salad: replace the salami with tofu.
- Wedge Salad: replace arugula with iceberg wedge and pour ingredients on top.
