Chef Salad Meal Prep
This traditional American salad is perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner meal prep. It includes deli meat, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh veggies, making it both tasty and filling.
If you’re craving a salad that can stand as a full meal, then Chef’s salad is the way to go!
This filling salad is packed with various deli meats, often including ham and turkey, and sometimes even bacon. It’s loaded with fresh veggies and hard-boiled eggs, too. Plus, you can easily adjust it to suit your preferences with endless options for customization.
Ingredients
- Greens – I use butter lettuce, but you can use spring mix or any other greens you like.
- Deli Meat – Sliced ham and turkey are most commonly used, but roast beef is also included at some restaurants.
- Cheese – Swiss and cheddar are traditional, but you could swap them out for any other variety that you prefer.
- Vegetables – Sliced cucumbers and cherry tomatoes are the most common, but feel free to add others like radishes and bell peppers.
- Dressing – Thousand Island is traditional to serve with chef salad, but I usually go with oil and vinegar and greek yogurt ranch to keep it light.
Tips
- To keep greens from being soggy, seal the deli meat in a ziplock bag or saran wrap.
- Keep it low-fat by using deli chicken breast in place of the ham.
- Need extra healthy fats? Add an avocado.
