CHOPPED SALAD WITH BLEU CHEESE VINAIGRETTE
This deconstructed take on a steakhouse-style wedge salad is lighter than its original inspiration; a vinaigrette replaces the creamy dressing but makes up for any leanness with creamy bursts of crumbled bleu cheese scattered throughout the salad.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Slice each pecan half into three lengthwise pieces. Mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Toss pecans with melted butter, then with the cinnamon/sugar mixture, tossing well to ensure a thorough coating. Put the nuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until sugar is caramelized. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, slide the parchment together with the nuts off the sheet to cool, and set aside.
- Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients.
- Chop the lettuces into smallish bite-sized pieces; use a salad spinner to wash and dry them. Slice the green onion.
- Break the angel hair into small, 2 inch pieces. Cook until al dente. Heat oil in a skillet, and fry drained pasta until crispy. Drain on paper towel and cool.
- Place the chopped lettuce in a large serving bowl (one large enough to toss the salad in). Add the vinaigrette and toss thoroughly to coat. Sprinkle with the chopped onion. Break the cooled pecan slices apart and sprinkle them over the salad.

Steps:
- Combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper in a jar with a lid. Cover and shake to mix well.
- For the salad, place the lettuce in an oval or rectangular bowl. Arrange the tomato, bacon, onion, avocado, and cheese in rows over the lettuce.
- Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss just before serving.
Tips:
- Prep Work: Before you start chopping, make sure all your ingredients are thoroughly washed and dried. This will prevent excess water from diluting the dressing.
- Variety of Ingredients: Don't be afraid to mix and match different ingredients to create a unique salad. Some popular additions include roasted nuts, dried fruits, and crumbled cheese.
- Dressing: The dressing is what brings the salad together, so make sure it's flavorful and well-balanced. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings is always a good choice.
- Toss Gently: Once you've added the dressing, toss the salad gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Over-tossing can bruise the greens and make the salad soggy.
- Serve Immediately: Chopped salads are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them immediately after they're made. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two, but the texture and flavor will be best on the first day.
Conclusion:
Chopped salads are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a side. With a variety of ingredients and dressings to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating a salad that suits your taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give a chopped salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
