Recipe by Chad Sarno

4 cups romaine hearts, chopped
1 cup green cabbage, chopped
1 cup kale of choice, stemmed and chopped
2 cups of cooked white beans (or one and half 15-ounce can, strained and rinsed)
¼ cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup chopped and toasted walnuts
1/2 cup roasted pepper, chopped
1 avocado, seeded and cubed
2 green onions, sliced thin
1/4 cup loose packed Italian parsley, chopped
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
1/3 cup Dijon Vinaigrette (see recipe)
Whole wheat toasted pita and your choice of plant protein (optional - to serve)

If all your ingredients are not chopped already, a great way to assemble a chopped salad is to add all ingredients on a cutting board and coarsely chop all together. There is no science or special knife skill needed here - you just need to chop all the ingredients so they combine well.
Toss all the chopped ingredients in a mixing bowl and drizzle in the vinaigrette. Gently toss salad, coating all with the dressing.
Serve in a large bowl for each serving topped with additional toasted walnuts or seeds, your choice of added plant protein, or/and avocado with the pitta on the side.

For a heartier meal, add in 2 cups of your favorite cooked grains such as wild rice or quinoa combined with 1 tablespoon of sambal chile. Toss well.
For a protein punch, add another variety of beans such as edamame or black beans, 8 ounces of grilled plant chicken or one of your other favorite plant-based proteins. Our Tempeh Bacon (see recipe) and Baked Tofu (see recipe) both work a treat!
