<\/p>\nA chef has sparked outrage after her unique salad recipe went viral.<\/p>\n
Molly Yeh, an American food blogger, appeared on her popular Food Network show Girl Meets Farm, to show viewers how she makes “Crunchy Snap Pea Popcorn Salad.”<\/p>\n
She explained that the classic mid-Western dish, which comprises popcorn, vegetables and mayonnaise, is usually found in a church basement potluck, reports\u00a0Daily Star.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Molly says: “Some people will put fish in it as well. You don’t think it’s going to work, but when you taste it, it’s really good.”<\/p>\n
But viewers were less than impressed with the dish as some said Food Network should be “shut down” for airing the episode.<\/p>\n
To make the sauce, she combines mayonnaise, sour cream, dijon mustard, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
She mixes this with snap peas, carrot and chopped celery, before adding to the popcorn, which has been flavoured with cheese powder.<\/p>\n
Molly then garnishes the salad with chopped watercress.<\/p>\n
“What it looks like you’re getting a salad, but you look underneath, you see a pile of popcorn,” the presenter grins.<\/p>\n

“That is my kind of salad. This is the kind of salad you eat with a spoon.”<\/p>\n
She then helps herself to a large mouthful, before adding: “That is crunch on crunch on crunch, and I love the white cheddar powder.<\/p>\n
“This salad is going to crunch… I mean, crush, at our party.”<\/p>\n
The recipe was first shared on Food Network but has since gone viral after a tweet alerting social media users of the dish racked up more than two million views, as the person said: “What the hell is this.”<\/p>\n
Naturally, the internet had a lot to say on the matter, with many people commenting on the controversial combination.<\/p>\n
One person said: “If you bring me out some soggy mayo popcorn I will be going to jail that day.”<\/p>\n
Another commented: “Never in my life have I seen a popcorn salad and I pray I don\u2019t have to see it again.”<\/p>\n
A third added: “‘I love the texture of the popcorn in the salad’ is literally where I stopped the video….how bad was it?”<\/p>\n
“This was on FOOD NETWORK? Shut it down,” added someone else.<\/p>\n
And: “That’s a crime against humanity,” said a fifth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
