Chopped Italian salad usually consists of a variety of fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, and olives.  It is often tossed with a vinaigrette dressing or olive oil and vinegar. Sometimes lettuce leaves are added to give the salad some crunch. Feta cheese or mozzarella can also be included for extra flavor.  Other ingredients used in a chopped Italian salad include artichoke hearts, capers, or sun-dried tomatoes.  The possibilities are endless!
