Chef's Salad

Loosely based on the Cobb Salad (1937), a Chef salad (or Chef's salad) consists of hard-cooked eggs, strips of ham, roast beef, turkey, and/or chicken, and cheese, all of which are placed upon a bed of tossed salad greens. The dressing on this salad was traditionally thousand island dressing, but today it is often served with a dressing of your choice.
