This Easy Italian Salad Recipe is not only delicious but incredibly quick to make. Perfect for a lunch, brunch or picnic meal!Chopped Salad Recipe that can be made with ham, bacon or meatless

 

Now that summer is  here, it is time to make more summertime salads. While I love them, I just cannot get myself to eat a lot of them when it is cold outside. With the weather warming up, I have been making salads and loving the chance to use some of the beautiful fresh summer produce that is available now.

Chopped Salad Recipe that can be made with ham, bacon or meatless

 

What is nice about this easy chopped salad is that it does not take a long time to make and you can make it ahead of time. I change up the greens once in a while and I like to add chickpeas, but you can omit them and add tofu or white beans if you like.

 

I love that I can make a meal without having to turn on the stove or oven. Sometimes you want something refreshing and seasonal and this is it.

To make a meatless Italian salad recipe, omit the turkey and salami.
