Chef’s Salad
Chef’s salad, which is considered one of the great American dinner salads, is presented tonight with the standard sliced deli meats and salad makings. You’ll also add bell peppers, cabbage, fennel and marinated sweet potato to this mix. If you prefer not to use the sweet potato, the salad stands just fine without it, but, this marinated sweet potato is really good.
This Chef’s version replaces the meats or cold cuts with plant-based choices. The salad is dressed with a low-calorie Creamy Basil dressing.
