Chef’s Salad

Tonight the “King of American Salads” wears a crown of sliced hardboiled egg.
We’re talking about a Chef’s Salad. We’ll continue to take advantage of the abundance of the harvest season in the process by adding some shredded purple and Napa cabbage to the mix. The “cold cuts” consist of plant-based ham slices and thin-sliced Chik’n strips.

The salad is served with a creamy basil dressing and a choice of seasonal fresh fruit.
