Monday Night...Chopped Salad To The Rescue





I hate Monday and the last thing I want to do on Monday night when I get home is to cook. This is my quick and easy for a Monday night dinner. On Sunday I cook extra of everything so I have some great leftovers for my dinner the next day. I am always back to cooking dinner again on Tuesday but on Monday - honestly I just can’t do it! Monday is my day off from both exercise and cooking.

I chop up a lot of vegetables. By chop I mean chop really small. Throw absolutely anything into the mix. I chop a different variety of vegetables every week and they will keep fresh for 4-5 days. I store them in a Tupperware container and put them over lettuce for an easy chopped salad with some ditalini or on a baked potato for a meatless dinner. I’m sure to get my daily requirement of vegetables when I do this. It forces me to eat healthy. So my great meal tonight took all of 10 minutes. I may hate Monday’s but I love my easy Monday dinners.

The vegetable chopper I have is wonderful. It is spring loaded and I bought it at my resale store for $3.00. Chops up everything quickly and tiny, tiny. If you get one of these, you will swear it is one of those kitchen tools you cannot live without. In a matter of minutes you have some quick and easy meals for the week!

Chop Chop!

The salad chopper I think you are referring to is called the Toss and Chop and you can buy it at Bed,Bath and Beyond and William Sonoma. It's made by Silvermark. It is the perfect tool for making a chopped salad.
