Receta Garden Chopped Salad

by Anne

Garden chopped salad  made with fresh vegetables  ~ the flavors of summer mixed together into bite-sized pieces in one bowl. I don’t know why, but I love chopping vegetables – I find it very  relaxing.    It’s a good thing because I also love  fresh  salad ingredients chopped up into tiny pieces.  A chopped salad is almost  like a salad bar in a bowl; each bite of salad is a tasty combination of  flavors going on in your mouth all at once.  When I make a chopped salad,  I begin with basic ingredients such as chopped romaine, cucumbers, cabbage, onions, tomatoes. Once I have the basic ingredients all together,   I  head to the fridge to see what else I can chop up and toss in that salad bowl.  The possibilities are endless.  Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, peppers, avocados, olives, beans, dried fruit, hard boiled egg. . . I’m sure you get the idea! Once it’s all together, I lightly top the salad with a simple lemon vinaigrette dressing so the flavors of the  salad shine through.  Add some grilled chicken or tofu and you have a light, healthy and quick summer supper.     Here are the ingredients that I used in this salad, what are your favorite salad ingredients?
