Author Notes
My daughter and I ate the chopped salad at Community Food and Juice on the Upper West Side many times. Each time we tried to figure out why it was so good. It's light and vegetal. This is our version. Cutting everything up into tiny pieces takes a while, but each bite of salad contains a taste of all the ingredients and has a nice crunch. —luvcookbooks
