Mediterranean Inspired Chopped Salad

Keeping things SUPER SIMPLE today because SIMPLE is usually best!

We LOVE chopped veggie salads at our house. That’s probably pretty obvious because we sure have a lot of them here on the CFC website.

This Mediterranean Inspired version is completely Dairy-Free and PACKED with fresh veggies. Nothing complicated at all here – even the tasty light dressing is made of just a few simple ingredients. Oh yes, and of course it’s absolutely delicious!

Do you like chopping veggies?

I’ve always found it to be very relaxing for me. Chopping veggies forces me to slow down, calm down, and be present. It’s incredibly soothing while the finished result always makes me feel a great sense of accomplishment because my family will be eating all those beautifully prepared fresh vegetables.
