Chopped Salad With Herbs image

Chopped Salad: Here's one excellent excuse to spend some time at the farmers' market. This salad, prepared by Mark Bittman and Sam Sifton for a holiday feast, is chock-full of fresh vegetables and worth the prep time. Hunt down a few different herbs to give the salad a complex flavor and aroma. One herb will do in a pinch, but don't skimp if you don't have to.
