What does "chopped" mean... sounds messy... for salads I prefer
sliced/diced, and neatly, all equally sized pieces.

I use fresh squeezed lemon juice and EVOO, s n'p, and maybe a smidgen
of fresh herbs, typically fresh picked curly leaf parsley. It would
never occur to me to make salad dressing with ketchup. I wouldn't
salt a salad in advance to remove the water... end up with limp wussy
ingrediants and tossing that liquid is like tossing the baby out with
the bath water,,, that's a great way of getting rid of the Vitamins
and Minerals.
