CHOPPED VEGETABLE SALAD



Chopped Vegetable Salad image

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups watercress, tough stems removed, leaves cut into small pieces
1 cup whole parsley leaves
1 cup diced celery (or heart of fennel)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup sliced radishes
3 oz string beans, trimmed and steamed
Half a small avocado, peeled and cubed
3 tbsp drained capers
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp minced mint leaves

Steps:

  • Combine watercress, parsley, celery, onion, tomatoes, radishes, beans, avocado, and capers in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon, orange and lime juices, sugar, and oil. Stir in mint. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss with salad greens

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better your salad will taste. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a food processor, be sure to pulse the vegetables only until they are chopped to your desired size.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures: This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. For example, you could use red bell peppers, orange carrots, green zucchini, and purple cabbage.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what will really bring your salad to life. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own. If you are making your own, be sure to use fresh ingredients and adjust the flavors to your liking.
  • Add some protein: If you want to make your salad a more complete meal, add some protein. This could be grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or beans.
  • Serve immediately: Salad is best served immediately after it is made. This will prevent the vegetables from wilting and the dressing from getting watery.

Conclusion:

Chopped vegetable salad with beans is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a chopped vegetable salad with beans recipe that everyone will enjoy.
