Simple Chopped Italian Salad

I love this simple chopped Italian salad. I’m always looking for different ways to make a salad, especially in the summer months. This is no complicated or secret to making this one. Just chop up all the veggies and add them over a bed of spring mixed greens and dress with your favorite Italian dressing.

I love this combination of toppings for this salad. It can go with anything as a side course. You could also easily add some protein to eat it alone as a full meal.

Equipment You’ll Need

The only equipment you’ll need for this recipe is a large mixing bowl and some salad spoons. You’ll also probably need a cutting board and sharp knife to chop everything up with. Otherwise, I can’t think of anything else that is needed.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Spring Mix:

You’ll need about 3 cups of spring mix greens. This is lettuce, spinach, arugula. Whatever you have.

Cherry Tomatoes:

You’ll need a handful of cherry tomatoes.

Black Olives:

I used a tablespoon or so of chopped black olives.

Green Olives with Pimentos:

The same as the black olives…I used about a tablespoon. You can use however much you’d like.

Marinated Artichokes:

I love marinated artichokes.

Heart of Palm:

Ok. I really love heart of palm. Kinda has the same flavor as an artichoke. So good and add extra flavor and texture to the salad.

Brown Mushrooms:

You can add a few raw brown mushrooms.

Red Onion:

I added a few pieces of sliced red onion.

Parmesan Cheese:

You’ll need shredded parmesan cheese.

Italian Dressing:

Italian dressing of your choice! You could also use oil and vinegar.
