Chopped Salad, a la Portillos!

My first blog post ever.  Chopped Salad, as close to Portillo's as we can get!

2 hearts romaine, chopped
1/4-1/2 iceberg lettuce, chopped
about 1/4 head red cabbage, chopped
1 cup gorgonzola
2 cups ditalini pasta, cooked al dente and cooled
bacon to taste (sometimes I just use real bacon bits or cut up a few strips of precooked bacon)
cooked chicken breast, chopped (as much as you want, sometimes we leave out if not a main course)
1-2 tomatoes, chopped
you could add onion or scallions.  I don't, of course

Dressing:

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp dry Italian seasonings (I use Penzey's)
2 cloves minced garlic
s/p to taste
1/2 cup EVOO

We do this sometimes on its own, sometimes as a side salad, sometimes with homemade Italian beef! And every time I bring it, I get many comments.  Delish!
