Favorite Chopped Salad

 

I'm a huge fan of chopped salads, for a few reasons:

1. They stay crisp for days, and the flavor gets richer day after day.

2. If I'm honest... I don't really like leafy greens! As a nutritionist, I feel like an imposter for saying that... but, I can't lie to myself. So chopped salads are a great way to get in a wide variety of vegetables/nutrients and easily replace those leafy greens. Cabbage especially is a fabulous substitute,  Cabbage is an exceptionally healthy food. It has an outstanding nutrient profile and is especially high in vitamins C and K.

3. Chopped Salads are an easy addition to your Sunday batch cooking (which for me anyway, is key to my diet! If I don't prep foods on Sunday, my diet takes a significant dive during the week.

Below is my go-to Chopped Salad Recipe:
