Ever since Subway started serving chopped salads I have looked for a tool like they use. Most of the time when I find one, it is for sale in a package with a cutting board. And since I have plenty of cutting boards I kept passing on the salad chopper. A couple of weeks ago, when I was purchasing an immersion blender, I happened to double check and JC Penny had one on sale for almost half the normal price so I grabbed it. This afternoon I used it for the first time and it worked fine. I used half of one of those spring greens plastic bins you buy in the grocery. I have been buying those in spite of the non environmentally friendly packaging because they stay fresh longer than when I buy the bags, while still offering more variety than a head of ice berg lettuce. I added a half cup of quinoa cooked from one of those mixes that have the seasoning in them. Since you add olive oil in the preparation of the quinoa box mix I do not find any dressing needed on my salad. Then I added a cooked chicken breast patty. I took a deep breath and left off grated cheese, croutons and bacon bits. In the bowl with all those ingredients I used my salad chopper. It turned out just like the ones at subway. Usually at subway I get either the turkey or the tuna chopped salad and I am looking forward to trying them both at home.
