CHOPPED SALAD

A good chopped salad is a buoyant mix of different textures (creamy, crisp, crunchy, juicy), a range of colors, and sweet, salty and tangy flavors. This one has it all, in just the right proportions. You can gather all the ingredients in advance, including cooking the bacon and the eggs. But don't toss everything together until just before serving - and, preferably, do so at the table for maximum impact.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 romaine hearts (about 1 pound), trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup (about 6 ounces) chopped cooked bacon
3/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
2 hard-cooked (or jammy) eggs, quartered

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Zest the lemon into a small bowl, then halve the naked lemon and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Whisk in oil and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Put the romaine into a large bowl, then top with tomatoes, bacon, cucumber, blue cheese and scallions. Drizzle in about two thirds of the dressing, then toss until well coated.
  • Place sliced avocado and eggs on top of salad, and season lightly with salt and pepper (especially the avocado, which can take a lot of salt). Drizzle salad with remaining dressing, and serve.

CHOPPED SALAD



Chopped Salad image

This can take a while - or not. I work progressively: shred the cabbage, then salt it. Cut the carrots, then salt them, letting them sit while you're slicing the onion. Add the onion to the carrots, and so on. The salting intensifies flavor, slightly pickling the vegetables.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small head cabbage, trimmed and shredded
Coarse salt
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 small red onion, or a couple of shallots, peeled and sliced thin
1 medium or 2 small cucumbers, peeled if necessary, cut in half, seeded and cut into chunks
1 turnip, kohlrabi, or beet, peeled and sliced thin
2 small celery stalks, trimmed and chopped (or 1 bulb fennel, or both)
1 bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Lemon juice to taste
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a colander or strainer, salt the cabbage with at least a tablespoonful and toss. In another colander, combine the carrots, onion, cucumbers and turnip, kohlrabi or beet (the beet will bleed, so you may want to do that separately), and salt with at least a tablespoonful and toss.
  • As the cabbage wilts, squeeze out a little excess liquid. Toss the other vegetables from time to time. They can stay in the salt for up to an hour or as little as 15 minutes, during which time you can prepare the other vegetables.
  • Rinse the salted vegetables lightly and spin in a salad spinner for a few seconds to remove excess liquid. Toss with the unsalted vegetables and dress with the olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve. The salad will keep for a couple of days.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your salad a colorful and flavorful mix. Some good options include romaine lettuce, kale, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and bell peppers.
  • Chop the vegetables into small pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them to blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the salad and make it less healthy. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
  • Add some protein. This will help to make the salad more filling and satisfying. Some good options include grilled chicken, tofu, or beans.
  • Add some crunch. This will give the salad a nice textural contrast. Some good options include croutons, nuts, or seeds.

Conclusion:

The hippie chopped salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a meal. It is packed with fresh vegetables, protein, and healthy fats. It is also easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give the hippie chopped salad a try.
