Chef's Salad

This salad is an easy one to pack for lunch. Put the salad in an empty container with a lid, the cheese in a snack-size baggie, and enough dressing for your salad in a small plastic container.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4

  • 8 cups salad mix
  • 1 small red onion, sliced or diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 pound boiled ham, diced
  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
  • Salad dressing to taste
  1. Add the salad mix, onion, celery, peas, eggs, and ham to a large salad bowl; toss to mix.

  2. Divide the salad between 4 plates or salad bowls. Top each salad with grated cheese and salad dressing.
