This Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse Chopped Salad Copycat Recipe is outstanding and perfect to serve at a dinner party. Guests LOVE it ~ you’ll be asked for the recipe every time.

The dressing is a similar but much lighter version of the original. Remember~add dressing to any salad in small increments. Add a bit; toss. Add a bit more if needed; toss. Don't overdue it!
