Chef Salad

Makes 4 servingsPosted April 14, 2013

This is a variation on the theme of the old stand-by chef salad, tweaked to make it a bit healthier, sans bacon and blue cheese.

Directions

  1. In a large salad bowl, add all the greens.
  2. Top with cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, eggs, ham, turkey and cheese.
  3. Mustard Vinaigrette Dressing: Mix the Dijon mustard with the red wine vinegar. With a fork, mix continuously while slowly drizzling in the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the mustard vinaigrette, toss and serve, or dress with one of your favorites.

℞ M.D. Notes

  • Avocado adds fiber and healthy monounsaturated fat, and the eggs, turkey, ham and cheese make this a full meal in a bowl.
