There is simply no salad quite like a chip salad. And that is a sentence I've repeated to nearly all my friends at this point. It’s not stale party mix full of rejects that surface at the end of the night. It’s not the inevitable Gardetto’s journey where rye chips go first, all others last… or never. This is a melange of unexpected flavor combos, both high brow and low brow (but mostly low brow). Inspired by Zapp's voodoo flavored chips that combine salt & vin, BBQ and jalapeño into one, and the Midwest tradition of calling things “salad” (see: cookie salad), this is your YOUR party mix featuring all the best players in the game.
