I made the yummiest chef salad for my lunch today.

2 c chopped-up lettuce
1/3 c salt-free canned green beans
1/2 c steamed broccoli
handful of shredded carrots (from Trader Joe's)
slice of honey smoked turkey (Costco), julienned
hard-boiled egg, sliced
stick of string cheese, cut into 1/8" slices
2 T ranch dressing

If I'd had beets and/or tomatoes, I would have added them to. Just delicious, so filling, and only 224 calories total!

    What is the difference between a chef salad and a normal one?

    A chef salad traditionally has meat and cheese on it usually Ham and Turkey. It also usually has two types of cheese, cheddar and swiss. Also an egg.

    A normal garden salad would be lettuce tomato and maybe cucumber.

    Her version of a chef is an excellent substitution. Great job!

    Thanks. Being veggie, salad has always meant, well, salad to me. Leaves and stuff.

    Good on you. If you like asparagus, begin your preparation by putting some asparagus in a shallow container and covering it with boiling water. By the time you've fiddled around with everything else it will be just par-cooked and will cool quickly for adding to other ingredients. I do the same with fresh, green beans.
