This BLT chopped salad is so refreshing and easy. It is the classic bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes, accented with corn and feta. This is the perfect light, weeknight meal. A “chopped” salad means that everything is cut up really small. That means that the flavors meld together really well and it is easier to eat. If you have picky salad eaters in your family than this is the recipe for you. Even my kids love this salad! Add a Summer Shandy for the adults and sit back to watch the sunset on a beautiful August evening. You won’t be disappointed!
