Antipasto ingredients are sliced and diced to make this substantial chop salad. I like to buy sliced meat from the deli and chop it all up so you can get a bit of everything in each bite. -Kim Molina, Duarte, California

Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cups plain pita chips
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, halved
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
12 ounces ground beef
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta
2 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped
1 small cucumber, quartered and cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler on high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Pulse 1/3 cup of the pita chips in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon each of the red wine vinegar and olive oil.
  • Coarsely chop one of the onion halves and add it to the food processor along with the garlic and 1/4 cup of the parsley; pulse until very finely chopped. Add this mixture to the bowl with the ground pita chips and mix well with your hands. Add the beef, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and mix gently with your hands until well combined. Dampen your hands and form the mixture into 24 small meatballs, using about 1 tablespoon for each ball. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  • Broil until the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining red onion half. Coarsely crush the remaining 1 cup pita chips.
  • Whisk together the yogurt and remaining 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl. Add the sliced onions, tomatoes, feta, romaine, cucumber, bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup parsley. Toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.
  • Divide the salad among 4 plates. Top each with some meatballs and the crushed pita chips.

CHOPPED SALAD WITH BLEU CHEESE VINAIGRETTE



Chopped Salad with Bleu Cheese Vinaigrette image

This deconstructed take on a steakhouse-style wedge salad is lighter than its original inspiration; a vinaigrette replaces the creamy dressing but makes up for any leanness with creamy bursts of crumbled bleu cheese scattered throughout the salad.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ounces bacon (6 to 7 slices; we like Smithfield), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces mild blue cheese, such as Danish, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup golden cherry or Sungold tomatoes
1 head romaine lettuce (or 2 to 3 heads Little Gem), thinly sliced (about 5 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a medium heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Reserve bacon fat for another use (it's delicious for pan-frying hash browns), or discard.
  • Whisk together vinegar and oil in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and chives, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon with vinaigrette; season to taste. Serve with remaining blue cheese and chives.
