This Portillo&#x27;s Chopped Salad is a knock off from the famous salad recipe at Portillo&#x27;s in Chicago. It&#x27;s hearty and topped with the tastiest dressing.

Portillo's Chopped Salad

Ditalini pasta ((2 cups cooked))

lb bacon ((about 1 cup cooked and crumbled))

romaine lettuce

iceberg lettuce

red cabbage

grape tomatoes, quartered

green onions

gorgonzola cheese ((about 1 cup))

chicken

white balsamic vinegar ((see note))

garlic,

Dijon mustard

sugar

salt

Cook Ditalini pasta according to package instructions. Make sure you salt the pasta water while cooking to give it some flavor. Drain and cool. Set aside.

Cook bacon in a skillet until done. Let bacon cool, then crumble it.

Combine romaine, iceberg, red cabbage, tomatoes and green onions in large salad bowl.

Add cooled pasta, bacon and gorgonzola cheese to salad. Add chicken if desired.

Add dressing to taste right before serving so that it doesn't get soggy.

For the Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper.

This salad is spot on! Thank you for the recipe! Use the WHITE balsamic vinegar as suggested. It is sweeter and does not stain the pasta! I would not change anything 😊

Delicious!  The dressing is better than Portillo's &amp; it can be made lower in fat by replacing some of the oil with water.

This salad is a perfect 10. My husband and I both love it. We eat it about once a week. And I make no changes to your recipe whatsoever.

I’ve ate at Portillos a few times when I visited family in Chicago. I loved their chopped salad. It’s been a few years so I really don’t remember all that was in it. Anyway, I made this left out chicken and added red &amp; yellow peppers, cucumber and shredded carrots &amp; feta cheese.  Followed directions for dressing but I added honey to it &amp; a little more Dijon. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe. 

This salad is fabulous. It is also easy to assemble in layers so it keeps in the cooler, I layer pasta mixed with a 1/4 of the dressing, chicken, bacon, cheese, tomato, onion, cabbage, and lastly lettuce. When we are ready to eat I add the rest of the dressing replace the lid and shake it up.

No honey, if you read the entire post, the person who contributed the recipe has NOT eaten at Portillo’s. Anyone who has actually eaten there would know that the dressing is completely different. This recipe was great but I would definitely add mayo to the dressing in order for it to be creamy like the Portillo’s original. TBH adding a teaspoon of mustard into all that oil plus the vinegar seemed so pointless. Didn’t add any flavor at all. But add some mayo and boom it’s perfect.

Made this tonight for dinner. Really delicious. Only had shredded iceberg, next time I’ll get some red cabbage. Used 2-3 ounces packages of pre cooked bacon. Definitely like the variety of chopped veggies! Will make again, the perfect summer dinner. 🥗

It's time for another chopped salad. This protein-heavy, veg-filled salad can easily be whipped up on a weeknight. We think you might like it.

Chicken & Bacon Chopped Salad

Chicken Breast

Smoked Streaky Bacon

Tenderstem Broccoli

Sweet Gem Lettuce

Quinoa

Wholegrain Mustard

Lemon

Honey

Salt

Boil the broccoli in a pot of salted boiling water for 3-4 mins until it’s just about cooked. Then remove it and allow it to cool.

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Season your chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Place your breasts onto a baking tray and get them in the oven for 25 mins. Allow them to cool once cooked – the salad doesn’t need to be warm. Add the bacon in for the last 10 mins until crispy.

Heat up your quinoa according to the package instructions.

Add lettuce, broccoli, chicken, and bacon to a board and chop it all up.

Make the dressing with oil, lemon juice, mustard, and honey. Mix it all up until emulsified and coat the salad.

I used the dressing to make my own take on this salad, which was very good. Cooked shredded chicken, tomatoes, peppers, avocado, mixed grains, lettuce & cucumber. I think fresh chilli would have worked too :)

This is a top tier salad which my girlfriend asks me to make for her all the time!

So I’m obsessed with all the mob chopped salads. This one is delicious and so easy to make.

I'm am absolute fiend for a chicken and bacon salad and this really makes it a more filling, healthier meal than what I'd usually make myself. Really rated this one.

The dressing on this is so simple yet sooooo good! Love this whole salad!

Easy chopped salad recipe is perfect for using up whatever veggies in your fridge - no lettuce needed. A delicious healthy alternative to regular salad. Use the variations all year around!

Quick And Easy Chopped Salad - A Use What You Have Recipe

beans (white, black, garbanzo, etc.)

cheese (feta, queso fresco, Parmesan, blue, grated cheddar, etc.)

vinegar (rice, white wine, cider, balsamic, etc.)

garlic, (minced)

Add vegetables to a large serving bowl as you chop them into similar, bite-sized pieces.

TIP: any vegetables that need to be softened can be blanched while chopping the other vegetables: boil water, add the cut vegetable for 30 seconds, remove to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, and drain before adding to the bowl of salad ingredients.

Add any other ingredients you choose, beans, olives, cheese, etc.

Make Salad:

Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl or jar and mix well. Toss the vegetables with the vinaigrette and serve.

Make Vinaigrette and serve:

I have made this time and time again, with an exception.....used honey mustard
dressing.....it sure made extra special for those that are not too keen on veggies.

Great idea!  I was looking for something to fix to go with the savory black-eyed pea cakes I'm making tonight with leftover black-eyed peas.  This will be perfect, and use up some veggies that need to get gone.

Love this. My go to regularly. Thr Macedonian's have some really good stuff

Made this and it was so good! I'm going to make it for my Macedonian boyfriend now. &lt;3

This is a gorgeous salad. I eat it every week, if not every day.

Otherwise, all people from all countries are welcome to enjoy this dish.

I have a co worker from Macedonia  and just this week a few of us gathered again  at his  house for the full Macedonian feast. Coarse after coarse but it  began with this salad. Absolutely delicious. Going to be making it at home often. As for the other dishes, I’ll have to get the names written down as I don’t recall the names. All fantastic and I’m a fan!

I have to agree with all those who said that it’s always THEIR culture’s salad.  My late husband was born and raised in Beograd and he was adamant than any variation of this salad was Serbske’ salate (spelling?).  😆. Since he passed, I’m left with his grandmother’s old tattered cookbook, in Serbian, which I can’t read and, even if I did, there’s no standard of measurement to be found…it’s a ‘large spoonful’ or ‘small handful’ or ‘a slightly hot oven’ 🤣 so for years it was trial and error.  

Ive tried to recreate the old dishes from recipes I’ve found on line but none come close…except for this one!!! Thank you SO much Katerina for sharing this recipe.  I’m going to make this for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night for my kids to get an authentic taste of their fathers’ culture.  

p.s.  if anyone has an authentic recipe for Gibanica, please share

Let's go even further with this. 

This is for Mo.. 
BEFORE any of that land that your mentioned was divided illegally (mind you) where external western governments drew imaginary lines with big fat red felt marker on a paper map; Macedonia existed, and was one WHOLE place, one ethnicity, one name called Macedonia, one ancient language written about in the Homeric poems, one FAMOUS King Aleksandar of Makedon, and one ancient culture. This is simply fact, and not weighted on something as insignificant as the illegal politics of the last century. 

If you don't believe me Mr. Mo the Bulgarian, just look at ANY bible of ANY sect of Christianity, and please tell me what countries are mentioned inside the Holy scripture.
Go ahead. I'm waiting. 

Mic drop.

I honestly don’t care where this recipe “came from”….I’ve now made it about 5 times and we love it! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
