A Chef Salad With A Twist!

I decided that we should be eating, if not less, then at least, lighter. So, tonight I made these chef salad’s for us for dinner:

Fabgrandpa loved them! He said a couple of times we should do this more often. Here is my “recipe”

Chef’s Salad Recipe

1 head of romaine lettuce, torn and separated on two plates

3 boiled eggs

1 1/4 inch slice of ham from the deli

1 1/4 inch slice of turkey from the deli

12 cherry tomatoes

6 large spanish olives

6 pitted kalamata olives

6 cloves roasted garlic

8 small balls of fresh mozzarella cheese

optional: shredded cheese, dried basil, dried oregano

Arrange the torn romaine on two dinner plates. Cut the deli ham and turkey slices in half, then cut each half in strips and place on top of the lettuce. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and put half on each plate. Add 3 spanish olives, 3 kalamata olives and 3 cloves of roasted garlic on each place. Cut the mozzarella balls in half, and place half on each plate. Add cheese if desired, sprinkle with dried basil and oregano if desired, and serve with your favorite salad dressing.

(I cheated and bought the olives, roasted garlic, and fresh mozzarella balls at the olive bar in the grocery store. Makes for really easy preparation of this salad)
