healthy Italian Sub Salad
The plate of mixed greens I thought of is propelled by an Italian Sub Sandwich and can be made two different ways with the greater part of similar fixings. One is speaking to low carb sweethearts, one is a delightful tortellini plate of mixed greens. Here is the thing that you have to get it going:
Ingredients· 2 Hearts of Romaine, Shredded· 1/2 lb of Salami, Sliced, Cut into Squares· 1/2 lb of Provolone, Sliced, Cut into Squares· 8oz Package of Marinated Mini Fresh Mozzarella Balls· 1 Cucumber, Sliced Thin· 1 Red Pepper, Sliced into Strips· 1 C of Mild Pepper Rings· 1 White Onion, Sliced into Strips· 1 T Black Pepper· 1 T Dried Basil· 1 C of Parmesan, Cubed· 1/2 lb Pepperoni, Diced· 1 20 oz Packaged of Frozen Cheese Tortellini, Prepared According To The Package, Rinsed and Cooled· 2 T of Olive Oil· 2 t Salt.
For The Dressing· 1 C Red Wine Vinegar· 1/2 C Olive Oil· 1 T Garlic Powder· 1 T Dried Basil· 1 T Brown Sugar (or a natural sweetener)· 2 t Kosher Salt
For the Tortellini Salad· In a large bowl add the marinated fresh mozzarella, 1/2 the red peppers, 1/2 the cucumbers, 1/2 the cheeses and meats, 1/2 the peppers, 1/2 the onion. Toss well to coat in the marinated fresh mozzarella oil.· Add 2 t salt, 1 T pepper, 2 T olive oil, 1 T dried basil, toss well to coat.· You do not want the pasta to be swimming in a dressing, only a light coating of dressing makes this salad great.· Add the cooked and cooled tortellini.· Toss well to coat.· Top with the mild pepper rings.· Let sit covered in the fridge overnight.
For The Lettuce Salad· Whisk together all the ingredients for the salad dressing. Set Aside on the counter.· In a large bowl add the romaine lettuce and top the salad with the two peppers, meats, cheeses, onions, and cucumbers.· Arrange in a pattern over the lettuce, sprinkle lightly with salt, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight· Remove salad from fridge, the salt will have allowed the veggies to make a nice juice, dump the salad in a large bowl and toss well. I serve this salad on top of toasted Chateau Bread Dumplings but you can leave the bread out for it to be carb free friendly.· Drizzle very lightly with the dressing and serve the rest on the side for people to add as they choose.
