Why the Johnny Rocco Salad Stands Out

A seafood lover’s salad with Italian elegance. The Johnny Rocco Salad is a vibrant combination of crisp greens topped with tender shrimp and scallops, roasted red peppers, olives, and tangy ricotta salata, tossed in a zesty Italian vinaigrette. Packed with fresh flavors and protein, it is a standout choice for those who want something satisfying yet fresh.

What sets this salad apart is the wood-grilled seafood. Shrimp and scallops bring a smoky, briny depth that you cannot get from chicken or plain greens, and the Mediterranean mix of roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, and ricotta salata gives it a bold, sun-kissed character.

Flavor and Ingredient Highlights

The build starts with mixed greens, then layers on wood-grilled shrimp and scallops as the stars. Roasted red peppers add sweetness, kalamata olives bring a briny punch, and ricotta salata, a firm, salty Italian cheese, adds tang. The Italian vinaigrette ties it all together with a zesty finish.

The recommended pairings show its range: with Lemon Butter Pesto Branzino, it complements the light seafood flavors; with Classic Red Sangria, the fruity balance offsets the savory salad; and finishing with the Sogno di Cioccolata Chocolate Dream gives a sweet finish after a fresh meal. Allergen-wise, it contains shellfish (shrimp, scallops), dairy (ricotta salata), and possible soy in the vinaigrette.

Nutrition Context

The Johnny Rocco Salad is listed at approximately 1050 calories for the full salad, with about 45 grams of protein, 70 grams of fat, and 40 grams of carbohydrates, and sodium rated moderate to high. The 45 grams of protein is a real strength, thanks to the shrimp, scallops, and cheese.

The 70 grams of fat reflect the vinaigrette, olives, and cheese. Sodium is moderate to high, which is typical for a salad with olives and cheese. Diners watching sodium should take note, though the protein makes this a genuinely filling meal.

Ordering Tips
