Chopped Salad

Made this for dinner last night.  Definately a staple in our dinner rotations!  Yes, there is a bit of chopping, but the more you do it, the better you will be and it really isn't hard.  Make it your own, add more fresh veggies or delete some you do not like!

Chopped Salad

Romaine Lettuce I use 2 smaller organic heads– chopped

cucumber-peeler, seeded and chopped or I use the english cucumber and leave the skin on

small red onion, or a piece of of larger one-chopped

1/2 cup frozen sweet corn-defrost -i dump in a strainer with the peas and just run water through it then add to the salad

1/2 cup frozen peas-defrost-see above

radishes-my new love...chopped

3 ribs of celery-chopped

1 tomatoes-seeded and chopped

1/3 of a large roasted red pepper-chopped-I roast my own and freeze in a ziploc bag, and use as needed

can of  chick peas-drain and rinse

 feta cheese optional

Dressing:

In the bottom large bowl in which you will build your salad add 1/2 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard.  Whisk in 1/4 cup red wine vinegar.  Slowly pour in 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil*  whisking to emulsify.  

Add veggies....toss....enjoy!!!!

 *  Just learned look for your olive oil to be cold pressed which means in the making it was not heated.
