The term 'chopped side dish' can refer to a variety of dishes, including slaw (4 letters), COLESLAW (8 letters), and yams (4 letters). Slaw is a salad made from shredded raw vegetables, usually cabbage, and a dressing. COLESLAW is a type of slaw that includes mayonnaise or a creamy dressing. Yams are a starchy root vegetable that can be boiled, mashed, or baked. All three of these dishes are typically served as side dishes, and they are often chopped into small pieces before serving.
