CHOP CHOP SALAD



Chop Chop Salad image

The best part? The Caesar-ish Dressing, which is egg- and-dairy-free, but still creamy and flavorful enough to make you think you're eating a salad with a Caesar dressing.

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salad
2 romaine lettuce hearts, washed and chopped into bite-size pieces (about 8 cups)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 pound bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped into small pieces
1 1/2 pounds cooked chicken, chopped
2 avocados, pitted and diced
Caesar-ish Dressing
1 avocado, pitted and peeled
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender combine all the dressing ingredients and puree. Add more oil if you want a thinner consistency.
  • Place all the chopped salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. It's that easy!
  • Note
  • If you want to make the salad ahead of time, assemble everything except the avocado and dressing. Then stir in the avocado at the last minute and toss everything with the dressing.
  • Variations
  • Try prosciutto instead of bacon. Or add some feta cheese (and reduce the amount of dressing).

CHOPPED SALAD



Chopped Salad image

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.
