Hi Reader! A few years ago I had to start cutting back on my consumption of cured meats for health reasons (tell me you're Eastern European without telling me... 🫠) so when I do decide to indulge in a little pepperoni or salami, I make sure to pair it with fresh and healthful ingredients like the ones inside my Italian Quinoa Salad with homemade Red Wine Vinaigrette. If you are a fan of my Jennifer Aniston Salad then you're going to flip for this similar, Italian Chopped Salad-inspired dish that swaps lettuce for protein and nutrient-rich quinoa as the base.
