Salad Cutter Bowl: Rinse, Chop and Serve in One
A chopped salad means a cutting board, a colander, a bowl and lettuce on the floor. A salad cutter bowl folds that into one tool. You wash the ingredients in it, close it, and slice straight through the slots.
It has a white slotted bowl that clips onto a solid blue base. The slots act as a guide for your knife, and the base keeps everything in place. It measures about 18 × 22.5 × 10 cm (7.1 × 8.8 × 3.9 in). A chopped salad with one bowl to wash and no cutting board.
How do you use a salad cutter bowl?
- Put the lettuce and vegetables in the slotted bowl and rinse them under the tap.
- Press the base on and turn the bowl upright.
- Run a long knife down through each slot.
- Rotate the top section a quarter turn and cut through the slots again for a finer chop.
- Take off the base and tip the salad onto a plate.
You supply the knife. A long, straight blade works best, and it should reach all the way across the bowl.
What is a chopped salad?
It's a salad where everything is cut small, so you get a little of each ingredient in every bite. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, peppers, radish and cooked chicken all work well. Don't pack the bowl full, because loose ingredients cut more cleanly.
Salad chopper bowl or a mezzaluna?
A rocking chopper with a curved bowl is handy for herbs and small amounts, but it takes more arm work. This salad cutting bowl is better when you want to wash and cut in the same container. It's also great for coleslaw and fruit salad.
Care
Rinse it right after use. Be careful around the slots, because knife marks can build up over time on any plastic.
It's a quick way to get a real salad on the table on a weeknight. Add it to your cart, or see more vegetable slicers.
