I've been wanting something a little lighter lately and I came across a Chopped Salad on Pinterest. I added my own spin ate 3 platefuls and still wanted more.

I didn't do a photo tutorial because I figured it's a salad and you are a smart cookie, you can figure it out. It looks so pretty in the end and you can play with it a bit adding your favourite fruit and veggies.

Chopped Salad   printable recipe at bottom of post

Ingredients

All ingredient measurements are approximate, add more or less as you like.

6 cups of romaine lettuce cut or torn into small squares
2 cups of baby spinach cut or torn into small squares
1 apple, peel on (I had gala on hand) cut into small cubes
2 pears, peel on (I had borsc on hand) cut into small cubes

1/2 cup - 1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup of feta cheese, crumbled.

4 slices of cook bacon cut into small pieces (I use scissors)

I experimented with the following dressings:
Balsamic Vinaigrette, I used Renee's Gourmet brand
Poppy Seed dressing, I used Renee's Gourmet brand, light
Rasberry dressing, I used Ravin' Rasberry, Renee's Gourmet brand
Pure Kraft Refrigerated Creamy Balsamic Dressing

Toss all ingredients together in a bowl and serve. Adding dressing to individual plates. 

Next time I may add some finely sliced red onion and maybe some candid almonds or walnuts. I can't wait!


I tried all of the above dressings on my salad. The Pure Kraft Creamy Balsamic and the Renee's Balsamic were my favourite - yum

The Poppy Seed was good but didn't have enough zing for me.
 


Poppy Seed and Balsamic mixed together was delicious, about a 50/50 mix.

I found the Rasberry dressing a little sweet with all the fruit and dried cranberries but if you like a Spinach and Strawberry salad, you'll probably like the fresh sweet taste.
