CUCINA! CUCINA! CHOPPED SALAD (COPYCAT)
Source: Cucina! Cucina! restaurant - Seattle, Washington I love salads...good salads....and this one is one! I have made this repeatedly since finding the recipe. I usually substitute an equivalent amount of egg beaters for the fresh egg instead of completing the microwave step. Don't skip the basil...it really adds a lot! (Sometimes I mix in about 1/3 cup of grated parmesan before I add the oil...it is a nice addition*)

Steps:
- To prepare vinaigrette: Combine egg yolk and water in a small bowl; whisk well. Cover the bowl with a small plate and microwave on HIGH for 10 seconds or until the mixture starts to expand. Continue to cook 5 seconds longer. Whisk with a clean whisk. Cover, then cook on high for 5 seconds. Remove from the microwave, whisk with a clean whisk, cover and let sit 1 minute. (This process heats the egg enough to kill any harmful bacteria.).
- In a food processor, combine egg mixture, Dijon, garlic, salt, pepper, dry mustard, oregano, sugar, vinegar and lemon juice; process to blend. Blend in grated parmesan if you choose to add it. Slowly add olive oil, processing until emulsified. Set aside.
- To prepare salad: Combine chickpeas, iceberg lettuce, basil, mozzarella, chicken, salami, half of the tomatoes, half of the provolone and half of the green onions. Toss with dressing. (You may not need all of the dressing. Refrigerate any that remains.).
- Divide evenly among 8 lettuce-lined plates. Garnish with remaining tomatoes, provolone and green onions.
