Palomino Chop Chop Salad Recipes

• For the base herb vinaigrette: Pour the vinegar into a mixing bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil. Once the vinaigrette is emulsified, stir in the parsley, chives, salt and pepper.
• For the sweet Dijon vinaigrette: Whisk the mustard and honey into the base herb vinaigrette.
• For the chop chop layered salad: Pour the sweet Dijon vinaigrette into a large, clear bowl.
• Top the vinaigrette with the quinoa. Sprinkle the green cabbage ribbons on top of the quinoa in an even layer. Layer the corn on top of the cabbage. Follow with a layer of crumbled bacon. Arrange the tomatoes in a tall mound in the center of the bacon. Surround the mound with the salad greens. Sprinkle the salad with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Working up from the bottom, gently toss the layers of the salad to coat all components in the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender combine all the dressing ingredients and puree. Add more oil if you want a thinner consistency.
• Place all the chopped salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. It's that easy!
• Note
