Ingredients

For the Greens

1 box Mixed Salad Greens If radicchio is unavailable, use spinach or arugula as a tasty alternative.

For the Toppings

1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Feel free to substitute with regular chopped tomatoes or roasted tomatoes for different flavor notes.
1 cup Pepperoni Mini pepperoni or turkey pepperoni are great healthier twists, or enjoy olives for a vegetarian option.
1 cup Cheese (Mozzarella or Feta) Consider using dairy-free alternatives for a vegan option.

For the Crunch

1/4 cup Nuts (Pine Nuts) Chopped walnuts or slivered almonds work well; you can also omit nuts for a nut-free salad.

For the Dressing

1/2 cup Italian Dressing Keep it separate until serving to prevent wilting the greens.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pizza Night Salad

Start by washing and drying the mixed salad greens thoroughly in cold water. Chop or tear the greens into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large bowl.
Halve the juicy cherry tomatoes and slice the pepperoni into bite-sized pieces. Layer these ingredients over the greens in the bowl.
Crumble either mozzarella or feta cheese over the top, distributing it evenly.
Add fresh herbs such as basil or parsley, along with the nuts. Mix in these toppings.
Drizzle Italian dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all elements.
Finish with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
