SIMPLE GREEN SALAD WITH HERB VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- To make the salad: rinse the lettuce in chilled water. Remove from water, wrap in damp paper towels and refrigerate.

- Slice the tortillas into 4-inch long, thin, triangular strips.

- To make the dressing: in a small food processor, combine all ingredients and blend for 45 seconds to 1 minute until emulsified.
SCOOPABLE GREEN CHOPPED SALAD
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).
