Typically, it features fresh greens like romaine lettuce or arugula, paired with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, and occasionally artichokes or roasted peppers. It’s often topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and croutons for added texture. The salad is dressed with a classic Italian vinaigrette made from olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and herbs, providing a balance of tanginess and richness.
