Chopped SaladChris Gentile

Every Super Bowl spread needs a refreshing salad to counterbalance the array of must-have dips, cheesy snacks, and meaty mains. Because the elements of this are all chopped, it's a salad that's easy to toss, easy to serve, and best of all, easy to eat.

Cooks' Notes:

•Dressing can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
•Vegetables and lettuce can be chopped 1 day ahead and stored separately while being chilled in a sealable plastic bag lined with a damp paper towel.
