Chunky Chopped Salad Recipe Really Brings the Crunch
Packed with fresh flavors you'll love
Nothing beats heading out to the farmer’s market on a bright summer day. It’s a great excuse to get out of the house, and you can also stock up on fresh ingredients for your next meal, especially the vegetables. The colors are so bright and vibrant, and I can’t help buying one of everything. Now, what to do with all these veggies? We transform them into our Chunky Chopped Salad recipe.
We love a good salad — it’s the perfect way to get a flavorful side dish or appetizer, and all those crunchy veggies are so delicious together. For this mix, we skip the lettuce and instead combine celery, tomato, onion and fresh herbs. An easy-from-scratch vinaigrette adds even more flavorful. Then we finish it with seasoned croutons for even more crunch. Yum! Give it a try, then let us know how you like it in the comments.
