Copeland’s of New Orleans Chop Salad

 I remember, back in the day, driving to Pensacola with my folks and eating dinner at my favorite Cajun restaurant, Copelands. They had delicious seafood, beautiful decor, and a jaw dropping jazz brunch. Alas, all good things come to an end and one day it went out of business. I was crushed! Well, now I live in good ol’ Louisiana and guess what restaurant I spotted on my first trip to Alexandria (the closest “big” town to us)? Yep, you got it: Copeland’s of New Orleans! Ashton and I had dinner there right away and I’ve since been back for lunch a few times too. They have one of those huge menus (think: Cheesecake Factory) that is somewhat overwhelming but just about everything is lip smacking good! What are my faves you ask?
I tend to stick to their Classics and Fish along with their new Small Plates Menu.
1. Catfish Ricochet – hands down my favorite! Lightly fried, with pecans, sesame, and Creole Meuniere sauce!
2. Chop Salad, obviously! Great as an appetizer or add sliced steak and amke it a meal! Check out the recipe below!
3. Shrimp Ducky – Duck and Shrimp are a match made in heaven in this rich pasta dish with Burgundy mushroom sauce.
4. Eggplant Pirogue -fried eggplant on pasta, topped with crab claws, shrimp, and au gratin sauce.
5. Cajun Gumbo Ya Ya -classic Cajun loaded with shrimp and scallops!
6. Anything and everything on their Brunch Buffet!
7. Copeland’s side items are large portions and rich flavors. Try the Loaded Mac and Cheese, Corn Macque Choux, Creamed Spinach and Smothered Green Beans!
8. Banana’s Foster – Who can forget dessert?! This sweet concoction is amazing and big enough for 2-3 people!

 Here’s a tip: ALWAYS sign up for your favorite restaurant’s email newsletter. It’s a great way to find out bout specials and receive coupons and bday deals! Copeland’s has a great email program, with a $10 sign up coupon and free dessert on your bday!
Copeland’s now has a Cheesecake Bistro offering all sorts of delicious cheesecake goodness but my fave will always be the classic Bananas Foster, served warm with gourmet vanilla ice cream!
Another tip: Try the Small Plates for lunch or dinner! It’s a great way to sample a few items or have a “tapas” style dinner with a few friends. Here my hubby ordered a burger (surprise, surprise) but my Mom and I ordered two sides and Pecan Crusted Catfish and Oyster Eggplant Remoulade. This way we saved room for dessert..you guessed it…Bananas Foster!
Copeland’s Chop Salad
Here’s a simple version of Copeland’s classic for you to make at home!
Super easy and super tasty!
Dice all your ingredients! I pretty much stuck to what was in the Copeland’s original but you can add whatever you want…it’s yummy any way you make it!
Serves 2, as an entree
Ingredients:
Bag of salad lettuce, finely chopped
2 boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
4 slices of crunchy bacon, chopped
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup hearts of palm, chopper
1/3 cup radish, chopped
4-6 oz crumbled blue cheese
1/3- 1/2 cup fried onions (to top the salad)
red wine vinegar, to taste
crushed black pepper, to taste

 

Make sure you finely chop the lettuce.
Then just simply mix together and add red wine vinegar and fresh ground pepper to taste.
Colorful, Flavorful, and down right Delicious!
Lastly, top with crunchy fried onions. Enjoy!

    Thank you for posting this recipe!! I have always loved it, though I think they have revised the original recipe. This brought me back to when I used to work there long ago, I can't wait to eat this again.

I just finished "Spare" by Price Harry and it may just be the best and most heartbreaking memoir I have ever read. He tells his story as the 'spare to the heir', starting at 12 when his beloved mother Princess Diana passed away, up until 2022. I started with the hardback book but then after a few chapters, I switched to the audiobook version from the library. I always recommend audiobooks of memoirs and autobiographies if they are read by the author. I think it makes it so much more personal and moving to hear their story in their voice. Harry is a great storyteller with a lot of emotion and blunt honesty. I teared up and gasped out loud during many of his stories. He truly is misunderstood and this book opened my eyes to what a thoughtful and genuine person he really is. I highly recommend reading "Spare". 
⭐️ Did you know "Spare" broke the Guinness Record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book? It sold 1.4 million on its release day and has currently sold 3.4 million! 
πŸ’•It is a little over 400 pages (15+ hours on audiobook) with 232 chapters.
