Recipe Description

At this time of year, I love nothing more than a Garden-Fresh Chef Salad. I take out my favorite large salad bowl and get chopping my favorite salad ingredients – tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, sliced deli meats, green onions and radishes. Go wild with whatever ingredients you may have. There are no rules, just guidelines!

This salad is super easy to prepare – start by combining salad greens, tomatoes, hard-boiled large eggs, deli turkey and ham strips, cabbage, green onions, baby carrots and radishes in your favorite salad bowl. Sprinkle garlic powder and pepper over the salad ingredients. Toss with salad dressing to coat.
