SCOOPABLE GREEN CHOPPED SALAD



Scoopable Green Chopped Salad image

Is it a salad or is it a dip? Inspired by Melissa Ben-Ishay's (@bakedbymelissa) TikTok viral chopped salad, this vibrant crunchy-creamy dish is a salad, but it's meant to be scooped up with chips--not a fork. Don't be surprised that there's tons of dressing: that's intentional (and what makes it so perfectly scoopable).
