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.

If you dont mind small chopped veges, it would work. If you need bigger pieces, I would get something else.

Yes you can use it as a chopper. Be sure to be gentle with the silver button, or you will pulverize your produce. If you want more control with your chopping, use Kitchen King Pro 11-piece Ultimate Food Preparation Station.

You can chop anything in this handy little chopper. I love mine and use it for everything.

I have not used it for this, but, honestly, don't see why not. This is one powerful chopper!

it's great. my wife says it's the best chopper she has ever owned. she says it will chop onions or any other vegetable as fine as you want them.

I wouldn't call it a chopper. If you want a chopper get yourself a condor bushcraft parang.

I use it to chop nearly anything that will fit in the bowl. For lettuce and spinach you'd have to do a very small amount at a time. It would probably only be practical if you needed a small amount.

I bought this for my mother, but after looking at it, it really is a nut chopper. I would get an actual mill for that. Granted, I don't own it, nor have I used hers, but I just don't think the blades are going to make a fine grind, just chop.

havent timed those items; my wife uses it for melons and salad. seems to work for that. thats the best i can give you. good luck. why not just buy one of those looks like an onion container.

It would seem to me that there would be too little space to properly "fluff" salad fixin's unless you had a very deft touch on the pulse switch. I use my KitchenAid 3.5 cup food chopper almost daily and love it for a 'zillion' sundry uses. However, I use a hand chopper to prepare my salads. Just pound on the top and a spring-loaded multi-bladed knife quickly and perfectly every time, no matter the skill level of the operator. You really ought to have the 3.5 cup KitchenAid, but not for chopping salad... In my opinion.

It can chop food, but will not chop thing into a paste as well as a food processor can. So it depends on what you want to make.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.

It has a handle that you turn to chop things into smaller pieces. It is perfect for salsa or chopping onions to fry. There is a slicer as a separate attachment. I'm not sure if that answered your question.

Yes, but keep in mind the mini chopper is not made for thick type batters. For instance...Do not put raisins in it as it will cause the motor to overwork and smoke. Keep your foods 'light' and 'moving' in the chopper. I'm very impressed with this little mini chopper..extremely impressed! I have absolutely no regrets with this little powerful mini chopper!!!!!!!

I don't think I would try potatoes, but if you did make them small and not to thick. This chopper does great with vegetables, and any firm fruit (no seeds). I love this chopper.

I use this chopper for onions, firm fruit and all most everything else but tomatoes. I think the tomatoes are just a little soft. I have some other chopprs but this one is the one that I use.

This is a great chopper for uncooked veggies. Do bear in mind that it chops these foods into small chunks and the more times you pull the string the finer the chunks become. If you are wanting a shred or thin slices like for scalloped potatoes, etc., this is not the right machine. But if you're looking for "chopped", this is the one.

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.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.
