Chop Chop

You know how most of the time you finish eating a salad, not because you’re full, but because you’re over it?  Then two hours later when you’re prematurely starving again, you’re like “man I wish I would have finished that salad”?  Number one reason why salad choppers are magical.  They allow you to turn a boat load of greens into a normal sized portion that’s super filling and far from boring.

They also allow for a perfectly even distribution of ingredients and dressing.  A Type A personality’s salad dream!

I’ll be making a lot of chopped concoctions over the next few weeks, so I hope you’re as eager about de-fluffing for summer as I am.

A FoodFash Chop

Handful of greens (I used baby romaine)

2.5 ounces of solid white albacore tuna in water

1/2 avocado, roughly chopped

1/2 green apple, roughly chopped

1/3 cucumber, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon Vegenaise

1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

Chop, chop, chop and enjoy!

I mentioned yesterday that I bought a bunch of greens on my way home from the airport.  What I didn’t mention is that they were completely uncoordinated greens.

As I set out the veggies for their photo op, I thought to myself ‘this doesn’t look very good’.  But I kept coarsely chopping in preparation to use the salad chopper I’ve been unintentionally neglecting.

In hindsight, I should have left out the red onion and green pepper – I wasn’t in the mood for such strong flavors.  And the olives were neither a good nor bad addition.  Romaine, avocado, carrots, and cucumber would have hit the spot.

But then the choppedness happened and, aside from an occasional oddball onion/pepper bite, all was well in my world.  Perhaps I should leave the chopper on the counter as a constant reminder of how good I feel after a vegilicious lunch!
