    Chopped Salad with Ginger-Honey dressing is an easy to make salad that is colorful and delicious.

    Chopped Veggie Salad

    For the second day of this week's 'Homemade Takeout Recipes', I have a very simple and easy to make Chopped Salad with ginger-honey dressing. There is absolutely no cooking involved in making this salad and the dressing is just finger-licking good.Chopped Veggie SaladI was researching on the internet on what to make for this week's theme and most of take home dishes that come up on Google are Chinese dishes. I have quite a few Chinese dishes on the blog, so wanted to make something else. But it took me a while to finalize what I wanted to make.

    Chopped Salad:

    I remembered this amazing lunch I had with a dear friend in NY Botanical garden and I thought why not try one of the recipes at home. We were there in Spring and their menu had this chopped salad with tropical fruit. 

    Trick to make delicious Salad:

    The trick to make chopped salad is to actually chop all the ingredients/ veggies real fine. It is very different eating salad with a spoon instead of a fork. Use a shark knife to chop the veggies almost the same size.

    Veggies to use:

    I used veggies that I had on hand. You can make this salad with just about any vegetable you like or have in the refrigerator. Just make sure to dice them real fine and they are all of approximately the same size.

    Lettuce, kale (or any hearty greens), pepper, radish, onion, carrot, corn are perfect options. Diced cucumber, zucchini also are good.

    Fruits in Salad:

    I like adding fresh or dried fruit to my salads to add a nice (and surprising) sweet element to the dish. The salad I had in NYC had finely chopped mango in it. But you can add chopped pear, apple or pineapple or even berries.

    Ginger-Honey Dressing:

    The best part of this recipe is the ginger-honey dressing. It's slightly spicy, sweet and tangy. Just a handful of simple ingredients are needed to make this homemade dressing:

    • Grated Ginger
    • Honey (or use agave-nectar for a vegan recipe)
    • Vinegar - any kind you have on hand (rice wine, apple cider or red wine)
    • Olive Oil
    • Salt  & Pepper

    The quantities in the recipe is what worked for me, make sure to taste the dressing before adding to the salad and adjust all the elements to your liking.Chopped Veggie Salad
