I’ll lay it right out from the get-go: this salad involves chopping, but I assume you expected that from a classic chopped salad. This salad is so worth the effort though, a tasty treat that always earns its fair share of praise. In fact, it’s one of our most requested salad recipes to date.
I love this for a number of reasons, but top marks go to being a great make-ahead dish. You can prep the salad dressing and chop everything .
