Make-Your-Own Spring Chopped Salad
- For the chopped salad:
- 5 to 6 cups cut, cleaned greens (I use romaine & Treviso), cut into 1-inch ribbons
- 1 cup blanched fresh (or frozen) peas
- 1 cup chopped fresh herbs (I use a mix of chives, mint, parsley)
- 4 to 5 radishes, finely chopped
- 1/2 avocado, diced
- 1 cup garbanzo beans
- 1 cup chopped sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salami, such as finocchiona
- 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
- Other options: cucumber, red onion, scallions, blanched green beans, asparagus, pickled peppers, olives, shaved fennel, white beans
- For the shallot and cider vinegar vinaigrette:
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
- 1 pinch sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Combine all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk to emulsify.
- Add all the salad components to a large bowl then pour the dressing over top and toss. Serve immediately.
