What does a Chopped Salad contain?

It just means the ingredients are chopped smaller and added into the salad. There are different varieties of Chopped Salads like Cobb, Italian, Grinder Chopped Salad , and Greek, like this recipe.

What goes with a Greek Chopped Salad?

I love just adding a warm slice of pita bread on the side. For more of a meal, try this Chicken Kofta or serve it beside a Chicken Salad Croissant . It also goes fantastic with a cup of soup, like this Turkey Lentil Soup or Chicken Meatball Soup .

Why is my Greek Salad soggy?

Make sure to dry the lettuce before adding it to the salad and use English cucumbers instead of regular for less water in the mix.

This salad tastes best fresh, but it will keep in the fridge for a few days. Store in a sealed container and eat within 48 hours for the best taste.

Notes

This salad is all about chopping the ingredients finely. Make sure to spend the time to make everything bite sized.
Dry the lettuce well after washing, or run through the salad spinner, to avoid excess water in the salad.
