Cooking Tip
For this chopped salad, cutting the vegetables finely is the key to the texture, and using fresh herbs is the key to the flavor. We love the idea of making this recipe your own by using different fresh herbs or chopped vegetables. For more of a traditional green goddess flavor, try swapping 1-2 tablespoons basil for fresh tarragon. Or use a combination of cilantro, basil, and parsley for a more earthy flavor profile. Instead of using all green vegetables, you could use red cabbage, and red bell pepper for a red and green color combo reminiscent of the holidays.
