I dont make the rules, but I firmly believe that every pizza party needs a hearty salad.
The base hasgotto be romaine lettuce.
Were looking for pickley, crunchy, and vegetal ingredients.
Use what you have and if you dont have it all, thats totally fine.
As far as the dressing goes, stick to a classic Italian-inspired vinaigrette.
Would cubed salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, Swiss, or mozzarella be good in this salad?
But remember, this salad isnt the whole meal.
Weve also got a selection of pizzas, so the salad shouldn’t overpower.
Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Make the salad:In a large bowl, add all salad ingredients and toss to combine with dressing.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Serve in a large bowl or on a deep platter with freshly grated Parmesan on top.
Simple Tip!
Pizza dinner party success!
