Celebrity Cruise Line's Chopped Salad







We recently bought the Celebrity Cruise lines cookbook, Excite the Senses. Everything looks so good and so many of the recipes we've actually had on board! They call this the Italian Tagliare Assortito but it is a chopped salad. We've made a few changes to the original recipe, to make it more to our liking. You can surely put whatever you like in it.  Its really is really a great salad.
There is a lot of chopping and dicing but its all worth it. Prepare this ahead of time and keep all your bowls covered in the fridge. Serves 6

1 1/2 head of organic Boston lettuce roughly chopped
12 Cherry tomatoes diced
2 stalks celery diced
European cucumber peeled and diced
1/2 bag frozen corn- roasted in a little butter
1 avocado diced (don't do this until you are ready to serve)
3 hard boiled eggs sliced
6 slices of sopressata julienned
1/4 lb pancetta baked until crispy
6 radishes cubed
chives for garnish

Add a little butter to a frying pan and cook the corn until golden brown. Put into a bowl to cool. Add your lettuce to each of the 6 bowls. Start cutting the vegetables to be about the same size as the corn kernels. and add to each bowl keeping each ingredient separate from the other. You can work in a circle around each salad.
When the corn is cool, add that to the salad as well.  Cover each bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.  Before serving add the avocado and dressing, garnish with fresh chives.
