This chef salad is something we throw together from time to time when we want a heart dinner that we can pretend is healthy. Actually, despite the presence of some processed meats, this is a fairly healthful meal with plenty of vegetables and greens. Serve it with Homemade Dill Dressing to add some brightness and flavor to the meal!

Ingredients

• 2 heads Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
• 3 medium-size cucumbers, sliced (lots of women prefer a medium-size cucumber, I’m told)
• 10 ounces cherry tomatoes
• 2 carrots, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced (you can use different colors if you want, or try adding some jalapeño for a little heat)
• 6 slices bacon
• 3 ounces thick-cut deli ham
• 3 ounces thick-cut deli turkey
• 3 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
• Homemade Dill Dressing (you can use a different dressing if you prefer)

Process

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Toss with the dill dressing; or, serve with the dressing on the side.
3. Enjoy!
