Asian Chopped Salad: A flavorful salad that’s easy to make at home and is a wonderful change-up from the typical garden salad!
Asian Chopped Salad
We are HUGE fans of salad recipes here, but having the same old salad every day can get boring.
Unless we’re having the BEST Side Salad recipe… that one NEVER gets old.
So tossing things up (no pun intended… well, ok, maybe a little) making this Asian Chopped Salad to serve alongside a weeknight dinner or to take along to a potluck dinner, adds amazing flavors to the menu!

Salad Ingredients
As with all the recipes here on Fantabulosity, you can count on easy to use, everyday ingredients, and HOPEFULLY ingredients that you already have on hand, or can easily pick up at the nearby grocery store.
This salad is no different, although some of the ingredients may need to be picked up if you don’t usually have an Asian recipe on the menu!
This recipe is very forgiving, so if you don’t have an ingredient on hand don’t be afraid to skip it!
