So, if your weekend was anything like mine, you may have eaten more than usual and are searching for something lean after a weekend of cookouts and sweets!Try a fresh chop chop salad and a tall glass of tea and you'll feel almost new again!
Chop Chop Salad
by FamilyFun
RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 romaine lettuce heart
4 to 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp, cooled, and chopped
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, halved
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Light Salad Dressing (Ranch or Blue Cheese)
(I like to add grilled chicken.)
1. Chop the lettuce heart into 1- to 2-inch pieces. Combine it with the bacon (and grilled chicken), other vegetables, and nuts in a large bowl and toss the mixture well.
2. Keep the salad chilled until serving time. Then toss it again with enough dressing to lightly coat the vegetables, and season it with salt and pepper.
Serves 6.
Enjoy.
