Clean out the Fridge before Leaving Town Chopped Salad

chopped-salad-2-4864380

I’m leaving town for a few days and didn’t want any of the foods I’ve been receiving from my farmer, Pekerek’s Produce, to go to waste. I described in more detail how to make a chopped salad in an earlier post. Basically, you chop up some veggies into about the same size pieces, unless they’re already small like sweet corn kernels or peas; then toss with your favorite salad dressing. I decided to see if this might be the solution for using most of my remaining vegetables. My husband gave it a thumbs up … it was definitely a tasty solution!

Guess the number and kind of vegetables that went into my salad ….

My salad included these seven veggies:

  1. Tomatoes
  2. Cucumber (leave the skin on)
  3. Zucchini
  4. Onion
  5. Sweet corn (raw, scraped from the cob)
  6. Kohlrabi
  7. Green pepper

What are some vegetables you have included in a chopped salad?
