  • 1 Tbsp. chopped oregano
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 lb. marinated artichoke hearts from a 12-oz. jar (about 1 1/2 cups), drained
  • 4 oz. mini pepperoni rounds
  • 2 (15.5-oz.) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed, dried
  • 1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, cut into 1" pieces (about 8 cups)
  • 1/2 head of radicchio, cut into 1" pieces (about 3 cups)
  • 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 2 navel oranges, peel and pith removed, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 1/2 lb. provolone cheese, cut into 1/2" pieces

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Combine orange juice, vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, mustard, 1/4 cup of oil, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix artichokes, pepperoni slices, chickpeas, and 2 tablespoons of oil on a baking sheet with raised edges; season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bake, stirring halfway through, until chickpeas turn a deep golden brown and the pepperoni is crispy, for about 18 to 20 minutes.
