This chopped salad from La Scala restaurant in Beverly Hills was first introduced in the 1960's and became a fad among celebrities. It's still a popular salad entree; and you can make it at home for a lot less than the $12. that it costs at the restaurant.

This is an old-fashioned "fad" recipe. If you enjoy a lot of "things" in your salad, this is for you. If you can dry your own herbs, you will get the best flavor for the dressing. From "Saveur" magazine.
