Description

Hetty McKinnon’s Potato Chip Salad is a creamy, herby, crunchy dream that turns a few humble ingredients into something unforgettable. Salty kettle chips, fresh herbs, and crisp lettuce come together with a tangy dressing for a salad that’s anything but ordinary.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups thick-cut or kettle-style potato chips
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, celery, parsley, dill, and scallions.
  3. Pour the dressing over the greens and herbs, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  4. Right before serving, add the potato chips and gently fold them in to keep their crunch.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, crunchy textures.
