Chopped Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing – Easy to Prepare Recipe

Chopped Salad_title

 

I have been bragging about this salad on Instagram for months… and for good reason! It is delicious… simple and nourishing. Basically, I can’t get enough of it. And by changing up the fruit in the salad, I keep it fresh and interesting. Not that I need to, because with such an array of complimentary flavors, I honestly never get tired of it. I crave it all the time, and not just because it tastes good. My body really craves the nutrition it offers as well. The recipe is based off of my favorite salad at one of my favorite local restaurants… which also serves artisan (gluten and junky, but mouth-watering, …ahem) pizzas. However, this salad really does satisfy, so it’s not at all unusual for me to enjoy it while my date (aka Mr. Incredible) or a companion enjoys the pizza. It’s also not unusual for me to enjoy the pizza on occasion… but I digress.

Here’s how you can make this amazing chopped salad at home… and it’s almost as good as eating it at a restaurant, but falls short of having it prepared by someone else.
