Jean Leon opened La Scala in Beverly Hills in 1956. The restaurant is revered for its Unique Chopped Salad. Thought of by many to be L.A’s definitive chopped. Their salad is great in its simplicity-iceberg and romaine, mozzarella, Genoa salami, garbanzos, all finely chopped, tossed in French dressing, and topped with one Kalamata olive. It’s accessible with many alternative customizations corresponding to including turkey, tuna, or rooster. I’m including turkey to my recipe and making it skinnier through the use of solely romaine lettuce, together with chopped tomatoes, reduced-fat salami, mild cheese, and dressing. Every principal course salad has 298 energy and 13 grams of fats.
