Here is a salad that everyone loves. Chopped salads where you really take the time to chop the ingredients nicely are a joy to look at and a joy to eat. Every bite has almost all of the ingredients in it, so the whole really comes together. I like this for a party because it can be served with a single large spoon, and your guests can either leave room on the plate for all of the other goodies on your table—or fill up on this healthy and really tasty salad.
