Chef’s Salad Thursday, May 1, 2025
You’re “Puttin’ on the Ritz” tonight. In the 1940s, Chef Louis Diat, chef of the Ritz Carlton in New York City, created this salad for customers requesting a light, off-menu dinner salad. 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.
