Don't let your summertime bod fade away with the sunshine — The Big Chopped Salad satisfies your appetite and keeps your figure slim.

1. The Big Chopped Salad:
A Great Way to Stay Summertime Slim This Winter
Every year, along with Labor Day weekend barbeques and final farewells to the carefree
summer days of strappy sandals and sunburned cheeks, comes a collective sigh among
women who can finally forget about sucking in their breath and put away their bathing
suits.
However, simply because post-Labor Day means packing away those thighs in winter
wear is no excuse not to stay healthy, fit and summertime slim.
The Big Chopped Salad does not need to abide by of all those typical skimpy summer
salads that scream “I’m just doing this to avoid the Carbs!” No, the Big Chopped Salad
embraces ingredients like chunked chicken with gorgonzola cheese and pecans dressed
with cilantro… or salmon and black beans covered in spicy chipotle. There are even
rumors out there that some leafy green attitudes are brazen enough to invite
barbequed pork, roasted red peppers and creamy Dijon to top them off.
The Big Chopped Salad is the tasty solution to packing on those see-no-evil pounds; and
the best part is you can put as many layers on it as you do your wintertime frame.
