Italian Salad with Iceberg Lettuce, Tomatoes and Mozzarella

I made this Italian salad last week served along side Spaghetti, naturally! And the whole family just absolutely loved it. Kids had seconds and asked for the same salad the next night. It's like your old school favorite Italian restaurant style salad, or let's be real, it's a good knockoff of the famous Olive Garden Salad, but better! 

This recipe was adapted from Bon Appetit. With the addition of tomatoes and olives, this salad
