Chop Salad
Summertime is salad time. When it’s hot, no one likes
to heat up the kitchen, and sometimes (more often than not here in New Jersey
in August when it’s not only hot but humid,) it’s even too uncomfortable
outside to stand over the grill.
We’ve featured many scrumptious salad recipes over
the past few years here at Killer Crafts & Crafty Killers, but my favorite
salad is a Chop Salad. The secret to a Chop Salad is cutting all the
ingredients into very small pieces. That way the flavors all meld together. With
each mouthful you don’t taste lettuce or tomato or cucumber but a unique mélange.
You can make a chop salad from any salad ingredients
you have on hand. There’s no one right way and no wrong ways. The salad
pictured is made up of some of my favorites: romaine lettuce, zucchini,
cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, and goat cheese drizzled with a Champaign vinagrette.
Sometimes I add in a handful of dried cranberries and slivered roasted almonds.
Be creative. Choose your own favorite veggies, fruit,
cheese, and dressing, and chop away!
