Chef Salad for Two

"I have developed this from several recipes, according to our likes and dislikes. DW can't eat very much at a single sitting. I like a Chef salad, but not as an entree'.This is just right for her, and makes a good snack for me. Cooking time would be the chill time."

  4. This salad is the best. I used a roma tomato. And only red bell pepper. I didn't use paprika. I brought it at work and I added light mayonnaise cause I didn't have any dressing. It was great with the mayonnaise. A great lunch, filling. My plate was full of it. Thanks Jim :) Made for I recommend
     
  5. I had this for a very healthy lunch today. I omitted the bell peppers (they give me heartburn LOL), and added deli turkey with the rest of the ingredients. I topped it with 2 tablespoons of Recipe #35969 and served with 1 lightly buttered Hawaiian roll. Very yummy! Thanks for posting Jim. Made for I recommend Tag Game.

  1. Always an easy choice for dinner. I love that it is so easy to throw together. Had it tonight, but added cucumber instead of bell pepper, and used bagged salad mix to make it even easier. Thanks so much for sharing :)
