I have to say, there was a time, I didn’t really understand, why people make chopped salads. They taste good of course, but who needs that much work for a simple little salad???
And then I got my first sharp and good knife set and my life has changed. Or at least my salad life…..chopped salad life.
If you have a good knife, it takes 5 minutes to make any kind of salad, whatever you have in your fridge. Because that’s the very best in chopped salads, you can use anything you have and they’ll just taste amazing together. Perfect way to use all that leftover veggies, what you don’t feel like eating anymore. They can be old and not the best looking, but you will not notice it in your salad. Bon appetite!
