Why I love this recipe

9 times out of 10 I’ll order if I have a chopped salad on the menu at mealtime, like the McCarthy Chopped Salad. All that knifemanship needs to be admired, and as someone who cooks for a living, I’m always thankful that someone else does all the work. But… since we don’t eat out every day and sometimes you just feel like having a chop at home, this has to be on your agenda.

This Mango Cucumber Chops Salad features chopped spinach, kale, mango, cucumber, bell peppers and tons of herbs. It’s topped with a peanut-lime soy dressing that you’ll want to have on hand for plenty of other uses. It’s the idea of my new friend Yvette who was on a Galapagos cruise last year. And she eloquently explained why chopped salads are better than any other salad and why chopping spinach is a necessity. I hesitated but was obviously curious. Fast forward… I’ve been doing it non-stop since I got home and that’s been a YEAR.

Side note: I gave it to Poppy last night (as is, no changes) and she gobbled it up. I was a little hesitant about the chopped raw veggies, but she was obsessed. I mixed in ¼ cup of cooked rice and it’s the perfect meal for a toddler.

The dressing goes well with many salads. So if you want to prepare the double portion, I have my full support. It will keep for about 5-7 days in the fridge.

FAQs

What is chopped lettuce made of?

CHOPPED vegetables. The beauty of a chopped lettuce is in the knife skills. It doesn’t matter what kind of vegetables you put in – pretty much anything goes. The same goes for fruit – feel free to add some crunchy apples, some chopped peaches, etc.

What is the difference between lettuce and chopped lettuce?

Again, it’s just down to knife skills. Finely chopped veggies, fruit, protein or dairy is what makes a mince qualify as a mince!
