A refreshing and colorful chopped salad that’s perfect for any occasion, combining crisp vegetables with a zesty dressing.

Ingredients

  • Lettuce (mixed greens or romaine)
  • Cucumbers
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Bell peppers
  • Red onion
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro)
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Feta cheese (optional)
  • Avocado (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the Fresh Vegetables: Begin by chopping all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. The finer the chop, the more they’ll mingle together, creating a symphony of flavors!
  2. Combine Veggies in a Bowl: In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and fresh herbs. Give them a gentle toss to mix the colors and textures.
  3. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. This simple mixture brings a light and zesty flavor that elevates the salad.
  4. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the prepared salad. Toss gently to ensure every piece of vegetable gets coated in that delicious zesty goodness!
  5. Add Extras: Top with feta cheese and avocado if desired. These optional ingredients not only add creaminess and richness but also enhance the dish visually and nutritionally.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve immediately or refrigerate for meal prep. This salad is great fresh, but it can also be a perfect lunch ready to grab on busy days.

Notes

For optimal freshness, make this salad right before serving, especially if adding avocado. Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep dressing separate until ready to serve.
