    Loaded Chopped Salad | CC's Table

    This loaded chopped salad has everything you've ever needed in a salad! It's fully loaded with veggies, creamy mozzarella, crispy grilled chicken, and a lemony garlic dressing! It is perfect for those summer nights when the last thing you want to think about is turning on the oven.

    The dressing is creamy, tangy, herby, and a tad garlicky. It is so delicious! If you can't find creme fraiche at your grocery store, you can use sour cream.

    You can easily throw any of your favorite veggies in here. And if you prefer the vegetarian option (as I often do), this meal makes a great side dish! Just exclude the chicken and salami. On that note, you can truly add any protein you'd like-- shrimp or steak would be delicious! I love how flexible this salad is.

    If you make this loaded chopped salad, I'd love to know what you think! And please take photos and tag @ccs_table on Instagram-- I love nothing more than seeing your creations!

      Best salad ever! The dressing is so friendly for non-salad lovers and the mix of ingredients keeps things interesting.
