Chef's Salad

Chef’s Salad is a type of salad which consists of hard boiled eggs, cold cuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese and lettuce dressed with thousand island dressing. A salad that originated from a salad called Salmagundi which was a popular salad during the 17th century England and colonial America. A really easy salad to prepare which good for the coming summer season here in New Zealand, its light, its flavourful, it is satisfying, in fact I can eat it alone without my mains.

freshly ground black pepper

2. Place eggs and cheddar cheese on top.

  1. I love this salad as long as it’s not drowned in dressing.
    By adding the cold meat and eggs It’s a great way to have a more “substantial” salad and using various cold cuts also gives variety if you are trying to be healthy and have salad really often too since the plain lettuce and tomato combo gets a bit boring after a while.
    *Another* recipe to save! Yum!!!

  2. Just found you, Raymond…hopped over from the German Foodie! You have a wonderful site, I will visit often. Now I need to make me a Chef’s Salad, sadly, eggs here (central Alberta, Canada) don’t look quite so grand!
