Recipe Notes

Make it Dairy Free: Use vegan mozzarella.
Make it Vegetarian: Up the veggies and skip the meat. You can use chickpeas instead - just drain them and rinse them first!
Italian Vinaigrette: Refrigerate any leftover dressing in an airtight container up to 3 weeks. Shake it up again before serving.
