"Salad?! ...I'm starving!!" - John Pinette

A proper chef's salad is much like what Mr. Creosote is served - salad and main course, all mixed up in a bucket. Many variations abound! The meat of the matter could be composed of rolled cold-cuts, fried chicken strips, honey-baked ham, or other alternatives. The salad itself could be the usual lettuce, or baby spinach, or any mix of greens. Hard-boiled egg is a common ingredient, as are many vegetables. Fruits, such as apple or citrus, could be added. And the cheese, oh, the cheese... Shredded or rolled around the meat, American, cheddar, even bleu cheese. Bacon? Anchovies?? Experiment!
