Chopped Salad Special

For this recipe it is best to have a gadget called The Vidalia Chopper, pictured above. It is fabulous. If you don't own one put it down on your holiday gift list. It retails for about $19.99. I love mine. Chopped salads take minutes. If you don't own one, you may opt to hand chop everything but that sort of defeats the purpose. Here is what I chop and put in my salad.

1 carrot-chopped
1/2 small tomato-chopped
1/2 cucumber-chopped
1/4 red onion-chopped
1 celery stalk-chopped
1/4 red pepper-chopped
1/4 yellow pepper-chopped
1-2 cups of pre-packaged organic salad mix any variety but I love the herb salad
1/2 avocado
A few broccoli florets
1/4 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup walnuts (optional)
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Sea Salt To Taste

Place salad mixture in a large bowl. Add your veggies. Drizzle the lemon and olive oil. Add salt sparingly. Toss well. Makes 2 servings. Enjoy!! This is a delicious meal.
