Summertime Chopped Salad. (…with, uh… chips.)
Well lookie here… it’s one of my favorite things.
A salad without the vegetables. Can things BE any better?*
Yes. Yes they can. You can scoop your salad up with chips. Thin and crispy, authentic tortilla chips. Salty ones. Crunchy ones.
Or at least the remnants of salty and crunchy ones that sit in the bottom of the bag, ravaged and tired after someone’s hand spent the majority of it’s weekend deep down inside, just missing the crumbs.
This is the kind of salad you eat on a Monday. When you really want to continue eating things that you ate all weekend, like marshmallow fluff blizzards, bourbon floats, pork belly and giant breakfasts. It’s the kind of salad that you pretend will make you feel all lovely inside.
Actually. Wait. No. It’s the kind of salad that I pretend will make ME feel lovely inside. Your salad will probably have lots of green stuff and broccoli and celery and vegetables and stuff that normal people eat during the week. I wish I was you.
Instead, I’m me.
I have no idea what was up with me this weekend. To say I was a bottomless pit is a complete understatement. I could NOT get full. I felt like I was eating nonstop. There have been few moments in my life when I’ve felt the same and it seems to come on every few years or something. No matter how much I shoved down my throat, I wanted more. More more more! As I sat at the dining room table literally shoveling this salad into my mouth on tortilla chip boats, my husband was staring at me like what in the WORLD is going on. I managed to say through mouthfuls, “I just can’t get FULL. I don’t know what it is.” And then he said, “neither can I! I’m starving,” and proceeded to eat three cheeseburgers with a whole sweet potato.
Story of my life.

Although pregnancy begins with implantation, the process leading to pregnancy occurs earlier as the result of the female gamete, or oocyte, merging with the male gamete, spermatozoon. In medicine, this process is referred to as fertilization; in lay terms, it is more commonly known as “conception.” After the point of fertilization, the fused product of the female and male gamete is referred to as a zygote or fertilized egg. ^”*

yum! I had a salad like this at dinner last night – so delicious and fresh!!
This has become a staple at our house. And even the salad that is most requested at friends’ BBQs. To save on time, I typically just buy cooked bacon from the hot bar at whole foods.

Your site is super!
Oh my gosh…just had this for dinner and it was SO DELICIOUS! Can’t wait to make it this summer! It screams SUMMER! And was so refreshing and delicious in every way…I substituted raspberries because the blueberry price at the grocery store nearly knocked me over…and i used frozen/defrosted corn because it is not sweet corn season here yet…but it totally worked! Already added this to our summer time cabin meal list! Highly recommend!
(And I never post on blogs…so, the fact that I did should speak THOUSANDS. This is SO GOOD!) Make it…ENJOY IT!
Thanks for the great recipe!
