My Aldi take on the 'Kardashian favorite' La Scala salad - the ingredients start at 99 cents
AN Aldi superfan and major foodie has just recreated the infamous La Scala Chopped Salad with items starting as low as 99 cents.
La Scala is a popular Beverly Hills restaurant that is famous for its chopped salad.
Some largely dub its claim to fame due to the Kardashians loving them, as salad shaking a salad is synonymous with the clan.
Katie is a lifestyle blogger and foodie known as bitsbitesblog to her TikTok and social media family.
Her website is dedicated to deals - especially when it comes to food and Aldi.
Each week, the Chicagoan typically shares with her nearly 140,000 TikTok followers her favorite finds at Aldi.

Here's a list of her entire ingredients:
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Red wine vinegar
- Dijon mustard
- Two bags of shredded lettuce
- Bite-size dry salami
- Garbanzo beans, chick peas
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Shredded parmesan cheese
The recipe for the dressing is super simple: two tablespoons of dijon mustard, one fourth cup of red wine vinegar, one-half cup of olive oil, one fourth cup of parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper.
The salad is just as easy to prepare.
Start with your two bags of lettuce, one cup of salami, half a cup of mozzarella cheese, and a half cup of garbanzo beans.
Next, add a half cup of parmesan cheese, add fresh cracked black pepper, toss it all together, and get ready to serve.
Just note that she prepared the dressing and the salad in the same bowl as she planned to eat hers immediately.
Katie does suggest making the dressing separately and combining once you’re ready to serve.
Tips to save at Aldi
While Aldi may be cheaper than the rest, there are other ways to save even more at the retailer.
First, shop the Aldi brands.
Aldi brands like Earth Grown and Simply Nature tend to be better for you and a better deal.
The brand offers tons of products that the name brands do but for much cheaper.
Another way to save at Aldi is to check the Aldi Finds aisle.
The section is similar to the clearance section in many stores.

Items range from seasonal foods, to gardening essentials, and sometimes pet accessories.
Most of the products can be found online and last for a week at a time.
