This Italian Chop Chop Salad 🥗 is the best thing I’ve eaten all week.


Hey friends❣️

My husband and I are on a salad-for-dinner kick and loving it. This Italian chop chop? Total obsession.

It's a hearty salad based on a classic Italian sandwich piled high with deli meats, provolone, peppers and marinated veggies ~ yum!

Italian Chop Chop Salad

Every once in a while I get a glimpse at the USDA recommendations for daily fruits and veggies (9+ servings!) I get a little chill down my spine ~ I mean, I think I eat well, but 9 servings?

Turns out a serving is only about 1/2 cup, whew! I think I can manage that (if I try!) And my love of chunky salads helps, I love them so much I could probably eat 9 servings in a single sitting!

What are chunky salads? They're light on leafy greens and heavy on colorful chopped veggies, beans, and sometimes meat and cheese, I'm not gonna lie. Here's just a random sampling...

  1. Mediterranean Artichoke Salad
  2. Cowboy Caviar Recipe
  3. The Perfect Chopped Salad
  4. Summer Vegetable Salad
  5. Salmon Cobb Salad
  6. Asparagus Salad Recipe

I've got over 200 salads in my collection!
