The perfect chopped salad means all of the ingredients are chopped the same size. I use a vegetable chopper to achieve this. In a small bowl or jar, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, and garlic powder. Whisk everything together until the dressing is well combined.
Add the chopped romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion, banana peppers, cheese, and turkey pepperoni to a large bowl.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately for the best crunch and flavor.
