Bar Louie Chop Chop Salad Recipes

CHOP CHOP SALAD

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender combine all the dressing ingredients and puree. Add more oil if you want a thinner consistency.
• Place all the chopped salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. It's that easy!
• Note
• If you want to make the salad ahead of time, assemble everything except the avocado and dressing. Then stir in the avocado at the last minute and toss everything with the dressing.
• Variations
• Try prosciutto instead of bacon. Or add some feta cheese (and reduce the amount of dressing).

Arrange the tomatoes in a tall mound in the center of the bacon. Surround the mound with the salad greens. Sprinkle the salad with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Working up from the bottom, gently toss the layers of the salad to coat all components in the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
