Viral La Scala Chopped Salad
A simple chopped salad you can throw together on those lazy days.
This is not a fan of the Kardashians but I am a big fan of the salad. Just a viral recipe I found on TikTok that looked absolutely delicious and simple to make. My two weaknesses in life.
If you like this salad, you will love my Italian Chopped Salad or my 1905 Columbia’s Salad. Both of these dishes eliminate cooking and all you have to do is whisk and chop to prepare.

Love Your recipes you are good.
Love the salad ingredients. Dressing not very good
HI Debra, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the dressing!
Yummy Salad 🥗❤️😋
Hi Carol! I agree, it’s addictive!!
Hi Amanda! Super yummy but I think the olive oil may be a bit too much on the dressing. Might want to cut it with some water or reduce the oil a bit. Otherwise so fab!!
how many calories is this salad?
Hi DeAnna, I will update that now.. thanks for commenting!
I loved this salad! So did hubby and my son!
A delicious variation for a dinner salad! Yummmm! Will definitely make it again!
Hi Christine! I feel the same way and I’m really glad the whole family liked it!!!
Hi! How long do you marinate the chickpeas?
Hi Cynthia, just for 20-30 minutes
I made this mouth watering salad today for lunch and gobbled it up so quickly and with so much gusto that I was almost embarrassed! I didn’t layer the chickpeas in a small bowl, but instead just mixed them in with the rest of the salad, which made it a little bit easier. I also added a little balsamic vinegar on top of the individual serving. This one, as with all of Stella’s recipes, is definitely a keeper!
This looks delish. Definitely tonight! What rice, potato or side dish would you recommend to pair this with?
HI Heather, I would pair with bread or mashed potatoes.
Is this really 811 calories per serving?
HI Amy, if you divide this into 4 servings – yes it is that many calories.
Hi, did you use the sun dried tomatoes that are in oil?
Yes, the ones in a glass jar in oil!
This sounds deliciousio! What type of mozzarella did you use?
Hi Gina, thank you! Just regular shredded mozzarella here.
I made the salad as a dinner salad / main course and we loved it. I am going to try each of your salad recipes this week. My fridge is stocked with ingredients.
Hi Claire, glad you enjoyed the salad, we eat it as a main dish too!
