Sophie's Chopped Salad image

From Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook. Great salad for a crowd, although his dressing is a bit "tame". If you want it spicier, mix half a cup of mayo and half a cup of Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch instead of the dressing Bobby uses.

Time 20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
3 cups finely chopped romaine lettuce
2 beefsteak tomatoes, seeded & finely diced
1/2 cup canned chick-peas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup nicoise olive, pitted and coarsely chopped
3/4 cup cubed white cheddar cheese
3/4 cup cubed monterey jack cheese
1 cup fried blue & white corn tortilla, cut into 1/2 inch squares
chopped fresh chives (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • In a blender, or with a wire whisk, blend balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth. Slowly blend in oil and blend until emulsified.
  • Toss lettuce, tomatoes, beans, chickpeas, olives and cheeses together in large bowl and dress lightly with vinaigrette. Garnish with tortilla chips and chives.
  • You can buy foil packets (in produce department) of tri-color crispy tortilla strips. Use these instead of frying tortillas - saves lots of time and tastes just as good.

Wow, this salad is incredible! The combination of flavors and textures is perfect. I especially love the crunch from the walnuts and the sweetness from the dried cranberries.
