Method

1. Slice romaine¹ into 5mm-wide strips, then chop crosswise finely. Dice cherry² tomatoes, cucumber³, ham⁶, mozzarella⁷, and pickles⁸ into ~7mm cubes; finely mince red⁴ onion.

2. Rinse chickpeas and drain well; slice olives⁹ into rings.

3. Whisk together oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper for the dressing.

4. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, toss with dressing, and serve right away, while the leaves are crisp. For a packed lunch, carry the dressing separately and add it just before eating.

In short

• Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
