This Italian chopped salad is one of Adam Liaw’s summer go-tos
Chopped salads are a great summer go-to. They keep well in the fridge and the chopped leaves don’t go as noticeably limp in the sun as whole leaves.

80g salami, sliced and diced
200g fresh mozzarella, diced or torn
1 cup mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup semi-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 Lebanese cucumber, deseeded and diced into 1cm cubes
½ yellow capsicum, diced into 1cm cubes
¾ red onion, diced into 1cm cubes

salt and black pepper, to season

2 tbsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp mixed Italian herbs
