This Portillo&#x27;s Chopped Salad is a knock off from the famous salad recipe at Portillo&#x27;s in Chicago. It&#x27;s hearty and topped with the tastiest dressing.

Portillo's Chopped Salad

Ditalini pasta ((2 cups cooked))

lb bacon ((about 1 cup cooked and crumbled))

romaine lettuce

iceberg lettuce

red cabbage

grape tomatoes, quartered

green onions

gorgonzola cheese ((about 1 cup))

chicken

white balsamic vinegar ((see note))

garlic,

Dijon mustard

sugar

salt

Cook Ditalini pasta according to package instructions. Make sure you salt the pasta water while cooking to give it some flavor. Drain and cool. Set aside.

Cook bacon in a skillet until done. Let bacon cool, then crumble it.

Combine romaine, iceberg, red cabbage, tomatoes and green onions in large salad bowl.

Add cooled pasta, bacon and gorgonzola cheese to salad. Add chicken if desired.

Add dressing to taste right before serving so that it doesn't get soggy.

For the Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper.

This salad is spot on! Thank you for the recipe! Use the WHITE balsamic vinegar as suggested. It is sweeter and does not stain the pasta! I would not change anything 😊

Delicious!  The dressing is better than Portillo's &amp; it can be made lower in fat by replacing some of the oil with water.

This salad is a perfect 10. My husband and I both love it. We eat it about once a week. And I make no changes to your recipe whatsoever.

I’ve ate at Portillos a few times when I visited family in Chicago. I loved their chopped salad. It’s been a few years so I really don’t remember all that was in it. Anyway, I made this left out chicken and added red &amp; yellow peppers, cucumber and shredded carrots &amp; feta cheese.  Followed directions for dressing but I added honey to it &amp; a little more Dijon. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe. 

This salad is fabulous. It is also easy to assemble in layers so it keeps in the cooler, I layer pasta mixed with a 1/4 of the dressing, chicken, bacon, cheese, tomato, onion, cabbage, and lastly lettuce. When we are ready to eat I add the rest of the dressing replace the lid and shake it up.

No honey, if you read the entire post, the person who contributed the recipe has NOT eaten at Portillo’s. Anyone who has actually eaten there would know that the dressing is completely different. This recipe was great but I would definitely add mayo to the dressing in order for it to be creamy like the Portillo’s original. TBH adding a teaspoon of mustard into all that oil plus the vinegar seemed so pointless. Didn’t add any flavor at all. But add some mayo and boom it’s perfect.

Made this tonight for dinner. Really delicious. Only had shredded iceberg, next time I’ll get some red cabbage. Used 2-3 ounces packages of pre cooked bacon. Definitely like the variety of chopped veggies! Will make again, the perfect summer dinner. 🥗
