Chopped Salad with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette is my recipe of the day. This salad combines a  variety of chunky  chopped veggies with a made from scratch roasted garlic salad dressing.

This recipe does double duty as both a marinated vegetable salad and a DIY salad dressing. It can  go  even  further if  you  want to toss the marinated veggies with some salad lettuce and add a little  more dressing.  In terms of make-ahead salads, it is  the  best.

Homemade Roasted  Garlic Salad Dressing

If  you  need a recipe to roast your own garlic, I have one here.

The dressing  yields about double what you need. However, the rest  can be  saved in the fridge for several weeks. You can use it on more chopped salad. Or perhaps on tossed  salad. It will be a  multi-purpose dressing for all  your salad needs.

Chopped Salad with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

This salad is chock  full of color. And  you  can use any vegetables you like. It is an excellent  recipe to  clean out the vegetable bin.

If  you like more  protein,  feel free to add cooked beans or diced cheese. Another  option  would be roasted chicken or ham.

As well, you  can  add sprinkles on  top,  such as seeds, croutons, or shaved Parmesan cheese. I  like the Parm on mine.  And those two go very well together.  Sunflower seeds would be  another favorite choice.
