Hey there! Italian salad is so delicious and versatile! You usually find fresh ingredients like romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Many people also add olives, pepperoncini, and a mix of cheeses like mozzarella or Parmesan for extra flavor. For protein, you can include salami or prosciutto, which really gives it that authentic Italian taste. A good dressing made from olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Italian herbs can take it to the next level! Enjoy your salad!
