Ingredients

Italian Salad

  • 1 can Glicks Chickpeas, toasted (see below)

  • 1 cup sauteed portobello mushrooms (see below)

  • 1 cup caramelized Vidalia onions (see below for caramelized onion hack)

  • 1/2 cup shredded Tuscanini Sun-Dried Tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped pecans (optional)

  • 1/4 cup torn fresh, cleaned basil leaves

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese cubes (optional; see below for parve and meat variations)

Dressing

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

Caramelized Onion Hack

  • 1 and 1/2 cups Vidalia onions

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

Prepare the Chickpeas

1.

Heat oven to broil. Prepare a baking pan.

2.

Coat the chickpeas in one tablespoon olive oil and one tablespoon basil leaves. Broil for five minutes on a baking pan.

Prepare the Mushrooms

1.

Slice portobello mushrooms into one-inch-thick pieces. Sauté in pan with one tablespoon olive oil until soft. Let mushrooms cool before adding to the salad.

Caramelized Onion Hack

1.

Peel onions and cut in half lengthwise.

2.

Slice onion halves into 1/4-inch slices.

3.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4.

Add onions and sprinkle with baking soda.

5.

Cook onions, stirring periodically, for 10 minutes until golden brown and soft.

Assemble

1.

Add dressing ingredients to a mason jar and shake to combine.

2.

Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the whole salad and toss gently.

Variation:

Instead of the mozzarella cubes, you can substitute 1 cup diced, grilled chicken or a six-ounce fillet seared tuna (with Italian seasoning).
