CHOPPED SALAD

Chopped Salad image

The key is chopping the veggies into small pieces. This is what gives the salad such a clean, fresh taste. The small pieces impart juices and flavor. No dressing required. This is good for lunch or as a side dish for dinner. It can be kept in the refrigerator for several days. NOTE: For a Fatoush-type of salad, toast or broil a slice of pita bread; break-up the crispy pieces into the salad.

CHOPPED SALAD

Chopped Salad image

This salad is like one big antipasto. I love the combination of the garlicky, salty salami and spicy pepperoncini, cooled by the provolone cheese and paired with the crisp iceberg lettuce. I make the vinaigrette heavy on the vinegar--equal parts vinegar and oil--because the acidity helps balance the strong flavors of the salad.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for crisp vegetables, ripe fruits, and flavorful cheese.

Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, and croutons add a nice crunch to salads. They also add flavor and texture.
Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to chopped salads. Try different combinations of vegetables, fruits, cheese, and dressing to find your favorite recipe.

Chopped salads are a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. They are also easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
