Chef’s Salad Bowl

The chef’s salad bowl is a great addition to anyone’s menu. I don’t know about you but I really love a good salad. I could eat salad’s probably almost three or four times a week. When I was younger I did go through a vegetarian stage for a while, but finally decided to go back to eating meat. Why? I suppose because it got a little expensive trying to keep up a vegetarian diet for just me, and a meat-filled diet for the other eight family members.

Well, enough about me and my family. On to what you came here to see, the recipe.

Chef’s Salad Bowl

The Chef's Salad Bowl is an amazing salad to make any time of the year. Growing up my grandma use to use cooked tongue instead of the ham. My preference is the ham, even though it is delicious either way.
