does it chop fresh leafy greens?

I haven't used it on lettuce or larger greens, but I have had good success with fresh herbs such as basil and parsley. It seems to get them small enough to use in dishes without mutilating them.

It does chop veggies - but it does a better job mincing them, like Harlan Harris says. I used it to "chop" celery, carrots, tomato, bell pepper, cauliflower, and broccoli with ease! Softer things like tomatoes don't do too well in there - it turns out like a puree.

You can pulse the unit which gives a chopped feel. If you are looking for something that evenlys chops items you might buy a chopper. I use this to make pico de gallo and it comes out great.

It will chop nuts not sure about hard veggies I only used it for salads, it isn't a sharp blade

Yes it does. Lettuce, cabbage etc. You jus got to increase the amount of greens to gain a proper glass full. But it does. I even tried water crest.

No, but it leaves chunks above the blade that don't get sliced and requires constant cleaning. Its very annoying.

Yes it will juice greens if you add water. If you over load it the motor will burn and stop

I have not done that, but it is wonderful for all the things I use it for such as for soups and anything else otherwise requiring chopping. You have to be careful not to over pulse it as it will actually liquefy things. Saves a great deal of time. Great kitchen tool.

Yes, it does, but I don't use it for cabbage. Cabbage is so easy to chop up by hand and it takes a longer time putting small amounts into the Salad Shooter. But the S.S. is GREAT for carrots and things of that texture. Great for cheese too.

I have never tried chopping those items, but it has no problems with large pieces of other vegetables such as onions so I would thing it would work fine.

No, but it is easy to clean and sharp so be careful. I popped mine into the dishwasher and it cleaned up very well.

I wouldn't use this to chop, really. It really shines in picking up things already chopped with your chefs knife or any other knife. Cheese and other soft things can be chopped with it but this tool is basically a "picker-upper" tool.

I am sorry I can only answer for the fruits and veggies I tried. I know it did not process greens at all. There was a lot of pulp left over from fruit with skins. I hope that helps.....

It will definitely mulch and chop up dry leaves. I tried some slightly wet leaves and it worked so so depending on how wet and heavy the leaves were. I trimmed my shrubs and tried to suck up and mulch the clippings. If the clippings were short it worked just fine, even tough they were still green. The bigger twigs with sticks and leaves would get sucked up but NOT mulched and eventually plugged the input. Thus I would like to modify / sharpen the blades to cut up small fresh cut and still green shrub clippings. I will need to research this option further.

Yes, It will chop fine &super; fine! It does a super job on my walnuts! It should do the job for you! Chops alittle larger too!

It does not which is a bummer. I do LOVE this chopper though. I ended up buying a collection box from luvtocook . http://www.luvtocook.com/products/prodDetails.asp?pID=228

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan
