The great thing about Chef’s Salads is just that, they’re made by the Chef so pretty much anything that you want to throw into them works. In my opinion they’re the catch-all of the salad world. Have a couple pieces of lunch meat that aren’t quite enough for a filling sandwich? Throw them in. Have a little of a few different salad types with no one of them enough for a good sized salad? Throw them in. A little of this fruit and a lil of that fruit? Guess what, throw them in
In this salad I give a lil Mexican flair to a Chef’s Salad
