He probably got his inspiration from the 17th century cold-cut-laden family-style salad plate called Salmagundi.
Today, chef’s salad is easily recognizable and something we can get our heads (and appetites) around. Hard-boiled egg, cold cuts and crisp fresh salad ingredients make up these individual dinner salads.
