Chopped Salad
If you’ve ever been to Ruth’s Chris Steak House, you know that their sides are just about as good as their steak. Their chopped salad is one of those dishes that you think about long after the meal is over. It’s a little bit over the top — packed with a ton of interesting ingredients and textures, tossed in a creamy, herb-forward basil dressing, and presented in that iconic molded tower that makes it feel like a very special event. The good news is that you don’t need a reservation or a steakhouse price tag to enjoy it! This copycat version nails all the flavors and textures of the original and comes together in just 15 minutes in your own kitchen. Date night at home just got a serious upgrade, and you can totally skip that fussy ring mold part.
