This salad eats like a full meal and is similar to the one you'd get at a salad bar. Place your toppings in small containers and the leafy greens in a bowl to allow it to be modified to a person's preference.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 6 ounces romaine lettuce

  • 1 medium head butter lettuce

  • 6 ounces deli turkey, cubed

  • 3 ounces turkey ham, cubed

  • 3 ounces Swiss cheese, julienned

  • 3 ounces Cheddar cheese, julienned

  • ½ cup sliced cherry tomatoes

  • 1 baby cucumber, sliced

  • ½ cup croutons

  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, quartered

  • ¼ cup ranch dressing, or to taste

Directions

  1. Combine romaine and butter lettuce in a large bowl and tear into bite-sized pieces. Toss to mix.

  2. Add turkey, turkey ham, Swiss cheese, Cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, croutons, and eggs; mix to combine. Drizzle with ranch dressing and toss to combine. Another option is to place all the ingredients into individual dishes to allow guests to customize their chef salads to taste.

Cook's Note:

Go to your deli counter and ask for a thick slice of turkey, turkey ham, and Swiss cheese (which will be a cost saver).
