Chopped Salad Recipe

Chop the Romaine Lettuce

Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water, then pat dry with a paper towel. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Prepare Cherry Tomatoes

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.

Slice the Cucumber

Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise. Remove seeds with a spoon, then chop into half-moon shapes and add to the bowl.

Chop the Bell Pepper

Remove the seeds and stem from the bell pepper, then chop it into small pieces and add to the salad bowl.

Slice the Red Onion

Peel the red onion, slice it thinly, and add to the salad bowl. Use less if a milder onion flavor is preferred.

Add Cooked Chicken Breast

Take the cooked chicken breast, dice it into small pieces, and add to the salad mixture.

Crumble the Feta Cheese

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.

Incorporate Chickpeas

Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the salad for extra protein and texture.

Mix the Dressing Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Combine Salad with Dressing

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Serve

Divide the salad into bowls and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
