This classic chef salad is loaded with turkey, ham, roast beef, Swiss and cheddar cheese, eggs, and avocado on a bed of iceberg and Boston Bibb lettuce. I serve it with my homemade thousand island dressing and comes together in just 20 minutes.

A@4U on 2025-11-22 (5 stars): Great Recipe! I cut it down somewhat since it was only 2 of us for dinner tonight and used what was on hand. Romaine & butter lettuce; diced ham steak - no turkey or roast beef; aged white cheddar - no Swiss. I did not seed the English cucumber. I served each salad in the same presentation as the whole salad with option of good-quality store-bought Thousand Island or Blue Cheese. An easy but lovely dinner for us without all the cooking and clean-up. Thank You!
