Chop’d

Something I miss from the states, salads made and dressed to order.

Healthy has never tasted better! It’s a lovely hot day, and I’m in a random mood, so how about a haiku?
Chop’d sell good salads
Mine had jerk chicken in it
It was wonderful.
I might start all of my future reviews with poetry… Anyway.
My jerk chicken and sweet potato salad was divine. It had loveliness included like beetroot and carrots, and I even smuggled some edamame in there. The dressing was basically oil, fresh red chillies and mango purée, and it was just the right amount of spice!
I’ll definitely go back.

There are a ton of places in this area to grab a quick lunch. Now that I’m working on the north side of Euston Road, it’s like discovering a brand new selection of food. I do still go to some of my favorites on the other side of the road, but these are definitely much closer. I was quite happy to see they just put in a chop’d in Regent Plaza, as I’m a huge fan of salad (and not the weird UK mayonnaise-​y ones either).
They’ve got premade salads or you can stand in the queue and have them make one to your specifications. I imagine that could get pretty spendy or you may just end up with a salad that defeats the purpose of having a salad. I opted for the harissa chicken salad with a mint yogurt dressing.
I really enjoyed it. The dressing was tasty. The chicken was nice. I really can’t complain that much. Plus it’s a nice feeling to think you did something healthy with your lunch instead of a burger and chips or something. I’m sure I’ll be back here several times to try more of the salads on offer.
