This recipe because packs so much flavor. I love a pizza parlor-style salad, and piling it on top of a pizza crust — topped with crispy pepperoni — is beyond. I could probably eat the whole thing by myself. The dressing is to die for, so don't skip it!

When I go to In-N-Out, I like to order one regular burger and one Protein-Style burger (no bun; it's wrapped in lettuce instead). I love the crunch of iceberg with a burger, so this is the perfect combo, and the burger bun croutons give just enough bun action.
