Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Chop Chop Fresh Veggie Salad:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Pat them dry to remove excess water.
2. Chop the Lettuce: Remove the romaine lettuce core and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
3. Slice the Tomatoes: Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
4. Dice the Cucumber: Peel (if desired) and dice the cucumber, then add it to the salad.
5. Prepare the Bell Pepper: Remove the seeds and core from the bell pepper. Dice it and mix it with the other ingredients.
6. Slice the Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad for a zesty flavor.
7. Add Herbs and Carrots: Incorporate the chopped parsley and shredded carrots to add freshness and color.
8. Include Olives: Slice black or green olives and toss them into the salad for a briny bite.
9. Prepare the Avocado: Dice the avocado and gently fold it into the salad to avoid mushiness.
10. Feta Cheese (optional): If you’d like, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for added flavor.
11. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
12. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving, and mix gently to combine all ingredients.
