Asian Chopped Salad Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What does Asian salad contain? ›

Asian salad is usually an American-style green salad (sometimes it's a cabbage slaw) topped with fried wontons or chow mein noodles, sometimes canned mandarin oranges and chicken, too. The dressing is often a vinaigrette with some combination of sesame oil, soy sauce, and ginger or plum sauce.

Try a fusion of diverse flavors and textures in your next salad. This Chopped Asian Salad Kit packs a crunchy punch with crisp romaine and green cabbage, sweet carrots, green onions. Topped with crispy wontons, sliced almonds, and delicious Asian sesame vinaigrette for added layers of flavor and crunch.

In a tossed salad, you may taste two or even several ingredients at a time, but rarely are all present in each mouthful, and the proportion of flavors varies widely from bite to bite. But a well-made chopped salad presents you with a harmonious, balanced combination of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavors every time.

Chop'd salads distinguish themselves by uniform bite-size cutting of all ingredients instead of intact leaves and large vegetable slices. This allows more flavor blending in each tasty bite!

But today, I am going to teach you how to make a salad without using a recipe so you, too, can become a salad artist. Sound like a deal? There are five elements to a perfect salad: greens, sweetness, creaminess, crunchiness, and dressing.

Lettuce actually needs a good amount of airflow, in addition to a bit of moisture (but not too much!), in order to stay crisp. That's why restaurants store their lettuce in special perforated bins that allow for air circulation while it's held in the fridge.

Additional washing of ready-to-eat leafy green salads is not likely to increase safety. The risk of cross-contamination from food handlers and food contact surfaces used during washing may outweigh any safety benefit that further washing may do.

How long will chopped salad last? ›

Store the chopped salad in an airtight container. Place a paper towel on top of the salad to absorb excess moisture. Store in the refrigerator, away from any strong-smelling foods. Consume the chopped salad within 2-3 days of preparation.

The salad chopper does have the advantage of acting as a simultaneous mixer and fine-dicer. Once I'd prepped everything, I piled each salad's ingredients on the cutting board and went ham with a mezzaluna chopper, using it to simultaneously chop and toss the ingredients together.

Common raw vegetables (in the culinary sense) used in a salad include cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, radishes, mushrooms, avocado, olives, artichoke hearts, heart of palm, watercress, parsley, garden beets, and green beans. Nuts, berries, seeds, lentils, and flowers are less common components.

Most leafy vegetables that can be eaten raw are used: all varieties of lettuce, garden cress and watercress, endives, cabbage, spinach, escarole, romaine (cos), arugula, and fresh herbs. Other vegetables, raw or cooked—tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peppers, beets, and so on—may garnish the green salad.
