Here's Eating Well's take on a traditional chef's salad, which is anything but light fare when it's heaped with meats and cheeses. Their version keeps the satisfaction factor with lean turkey breast and reduced-fat Swiss cheese - and adds plenty of colorful vegetables to the mix. Ingredients:
makes 2 servings, about 4 cups each |
6 cups mixed salad greens |
1 cup shredded carrots |
2 tablespoons chopped red onion |
1/4 cup dressing, such as creamy dill ranch dressing |
10 cherry tomatoes |
4 slices roast turkey breast, cut up (3 ounces) |
2 slices reduced-fat swiss cheese, cut up (2 ounces) |
Directions:
1. Toss greens, carrots, onion and dressing in a large bowl until coated. Divide between 2 plates. Arrange tomatoes, turkey and cheese on top of the salad.
