Chopped salads are incredibly simple to make – you have to give them a go. If nothing else, they can offer you some chopping practice, so why not make something tasty while you’re practising your knife skills? Anyone can make these salads, just make sure you use a good, sharp chef’s knife and your biggest chopping board and watch your fingers! Image © David Loftus
I never understand why anyone would want to buy store-bought salad dressings when they’re so easy to make, taste far nicer and aren’t pumped full of preservatives if you make them yourself! I like to make mine in a jam jar so that I can store any leftovers easily in the fridge – it will sit quite happily for up to a week so I often make up double batches to save myself time after a busy day at work.
