Fire Up Your Veggie Chopper for These Trendy Chopped Recipes

The chopped sandwich trend has been circulating on TikTok since last year, recently gaining a fever pitch among creators. They didn’t invent the recipe, though. In Brooklyn, Farmer in the Deli has been chopping up subs for decades. As you can see in this demonstration below, they have perfected the art form with the perfect micro-chop and spread on the bun using parchment paper.

On the opposite coast, La Scala's salad has been around in Beverly Hills since the 1950s. It has delighted JFK and Elizabeth Taylor with its mix of chopped salami, iceberg lettuce, marinated chickpeas and cheese, evolving a bit since then. Kim Kardashian considers the salad a favorite.

Here’s a recipe to make your own chopped Italian sub at home. You just need a cutting board and a sharp knife or a vegetable chopper.

Now, creators are taking the recipes one step further with all types of ingredients. Here, a classic lox bagel and cream cheese is pulverized to a super spread.

Of course, the chopped trend has been part of other culture's cuisine, as well. This Persian salad is a Mediterranean staple. Cucumbers, tomato, red onion and parsley are a classic salad combo.

This is a version of the La Scala salad, but also like Jersey Mike’s famous sub in a tub, a breadless version of a chopped Italian sub.

Since these all look like egg salad, why not chop up some egg salad, too?

Chop up tuna and avocado, but make it better with tons of crunchy veggies.

You can chop your salads as much or as little as you want, but Baked by Melissa shows you how to micro-chop a salad that is almost like a dip as she scoops it with chips. She eats hers for breakfast.

Really start playing with your ingredients, adding all your favorites. This chicken, bacon and avocado salad is a really great combo and a healthy way to get lots of veggies and protein.

This dip is also salad-ish, but it would be great in a mezze platter along with other dips and small bites.
