Favorite Chopped Salad
On the lookout for a side salad to accessorize with all your meals? I’m always on the lookout for a great green salad. So might I present, my favorite chopped salad recipe.
It’s classy and tight. It starts with my homemade Italian dressing: tangy, savory, and herby. Add to that shallots, tomatoes, cucumber, and a zing from pepperoncini. Parmesan cheese seals the deal. Every time I serve this to friends or family, they ask for the recipe (no joke!).
