Cuisinart Elite 7 Cup Food Processor: Easy Chopped Salad in 5 Minutes

November 23, 2015 by Angie Leave a Comment

A favourite dish at our house is salad and we love a crunchy salad with almost every meal. In fact, my family prefers a colourful salad over cooked vegetables any day of the week. With Christmas just around the corner, I have created a menu for our turkey dinner and I included this delicious recipe for an easy chopped salad which is chalk-full of good stuff. For any special meal, I like to serve a variety of side dishes, and this fresh salad is so easy to prepare with the help of my new Cuisinart Elite 7 Cup Food Processor. The Food Processor did  all of the chopping and slicing work for me, so this salad took only 5 minutes to put together, and all I to do was wash a bowl and chopping blade afterwards. And I love dishes AND tools that get me out of the kitchen faster and make my meal prep a breeze!

All of the ingredients for this salad were things that I already had in the fridge, so I only had to do a little prep like some washing and a few rough cuts to make sure the vegetable fit into the feeder tube for the food processor properly.  This recipe came out of the booklet of recipes that came with the Cuisinart Elite 7-Food Processor. I love recipes that come with an appliance because I know that it has been tested many times so that home cooks can get perfect results with their new appliance.  The Food Processor was so easy to assemble and use…I was chopping and slicing almost immediately!

 This Cuisinart food processor is the most user-friendly food prep tool on the market. Just the right size, this 7-cup model features On/Off/Pulse touchpad controls and all of Cuisinart’s best basic food processing attachments. It is so quick that home chefs can do multiple batches in minutes. The cooking options are endless. This product is available in stainless steel, which I love because it fits in with the many stainless steel and black appliances we already own!

Here are the many features of the Cuisinart Elite 7 Cup Food Processor:

  • 7-cup work bowl with pour spout, handle and measurement markings
  • SealTight system – seals bowls and locks blades
  • Easy On/Off locking system with push-button release
  • Reversible slice and shredding disc
  • S blade and dough blade
  • Electronic touchpad controls include On/Off/Pulse with blue LED lights
  • Comes with a spatula
  • All removable parts are dishwasher safe
  • Made with BPA-free materials

I had a lot of fun trying it out for myself the first time to make this delicious chopped salad!

As I fed the vegetables into the tube, they were cut with the slicing blade almost effortlessly.

When I was finished slicing all of the vegetables, I just had to scrape them into a salad bowl and add the rest of the ingredients!

And in under 5 minutes, I had this beautiful and colourful crunchy salad ready to serve!
