Viral La Scala Chopped Salad
This is a viral recipe I found on TikTok that looked absolutely delicious and simple to make. My two weaknesses in life. The videos I found online referenced the Kardashians and therefore I mentioned them in my video too. I’m definitely happy I tried this dish and would recommend it to anyone.
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.
One of the my favorite parts of this salad is that you marinate the chickpeas in the dressing and then use them to create a salad mold mountain of sorts. Looks beautiful for presentation and its something different to try!

I prep my lunches for the week every Sunday, and this has quickly become one of my favorites. In fact, I’m making it for the fourth time as we speak. SO GOOD!
Hi Jessica, glad you liked the salad so much – we loved it too! thank you for trying it!
811 calories?? Is that accurate ?? You assume you are eating well, low calories when you eat a salad. Ugg
I agree about the calorie count. I think the portion is suitable for 2 meals! 400/meal is doable calorie wise.
I see artichoke hearts in the photos, but not in the recipe. Are they a part of the La Scala salad? Thanks
What kind of salami did you use and how many people does this feed. I’m doing this as my main entree
Hi Ellen I typically use Genoa Salami – my fave! 4 People as a main dish!
delish
make it all the time
Good heart salad (3.5) and killer dressing (5).
Hi, can you replace the red wine vinegar with anything?
Took no more than 20 mins and it was confirm food in a salad bowl! Delicious and will make again! Thank you.
this salad is now my all-time favorite. Thank you fir posting the recipe!!!
Did you use marinated sundried tomatoes or dry?
Added red onions and lemon juice with garlic to the dressing. I would use less dressing next time and maybe the oil from the sun dried tomatoes instead. Very easy – will make again!
I’m trying to make this salad, and I thought I had artichokes in the cupboard but I don’t is there a substitute that I can use? I do have frozen peas?
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!

Hi Gina, thank you! Just regular shredded mozzarella here.
Hi, did you use the sun dried tomatoes that are in oil?
Yes, the ones in a glass jar in oil!
