Rainbow Fresh Chopped Salad

What to put in a fresh chopped salad

And the best part? You can put anything in it. The fresher, the better. I used mixed greens, leftover rotisserie chicken, crisp cucumbers, earthy chickpeas, sweet peppers, buttery avocados, artichoke hearts, red onion, tangy tomatoes, salty feta cheese and citrusy cilantro.

No need to smother it all in heavy dressing, either. There’s so much flavor that a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a bit of sea salt and some freshly cracked pepper are all you need.

And seriously, the crunch factor here is just off the charts. This salad is so crunchy, it’s the perfect meal to irritate someone with misophonia. 😀 People (including me) with misophonia (the dumbest thing ever) have negative feelings toward certain sound triggers, such as eating sounds. My siblings still tease me about the many times I asked them to stop eating loudly when we were growing up. I have since learned to cope with said sounds, and I generally keep the negative feelings to myself! 😛

So there you have it! The all-amazing Fresh Chopped Salad. A few crunchy bites in, imagine this…you’re at an imposing beach house, all snuggled up on a comfy porch couch, where the smells and sounds of the sea gradually start to overwhelm your senses.

Oh, summer! Can you tell how much I’ve missed you? I’m seeing a glimpse of you this week. It feels so good to feel your warmth on my skin and the way you gently caress my hair on beautiful, breezy mornings. Please tell me you’re here to stay.

Come and join me on the porch as we relish every forkful of this colorful Fresh Chopped Salad!

And I won’t tell you to stop crunching so loudly.

I promise. 😀
