Notes

Shred your own mozzarella for this La Scala chopped salad recipe! It tastes better and mixes in more smoothly than the pre-shredded stuff with additives.
Soak shredded lettuce in ice water for a few minutes to keep it crisp. Just drain and pat dry before adding to your salad.
Load up the famous salad with extra toppings and fixings! Some delicious options are roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, olives, and grilled chicken chunks.
