Italian Grinder Chopped Salad

I love a good lunchtime salad that's truly “meal” worthy and this Italian Grinder Chopped Salad always leaves me full and satisfied.

I like to make sure everything is chopped into very small pieces, so you get tons of flavor in every single bite. Plus, it's super high protein, hearty, and filling. If you want more high protein recipes, check out my Macro E-Cookbooks.

So easy, tasty, and satisfying! I often worry about serving a salad as a main course dinner because of my meat and potato-loving men, but this was a hit! Thanks, once again, for an awesome recipe.
