Chef Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

David Venable

You may have heard about Green Goddess Dressing before, it's been around a long time! Its tangy flavor pairs perfectly with this Hearty Chef Salad recipe.

Salad

  • 12 cups salad greens, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium seedless cucumber, sliced
  • 3/4 cup grated carrot
  • 6 oz turkey breast, cut into strips
  • 6 oz ham, cut into strips
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 3 hardboiled eggs, quartered
  • 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions

To assemble the salad, toss together the salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and carrot in a large bowl. Top the vegetables with the turkey, ham, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and eggs in large piles. Sprinkle the bacon over the top and serve with the Green Goddess dressing.
To prepare the dressing, place all the ingredients in a food processor and puree until the dressing is smooth.

Dressing

  • 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and quartered
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 5 anchovies
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup flat parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup tarragon leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Cook's Notes

This salad makes a great take-to-work lunch. Layer the ingredients in a plastic container starting by putting the dressing on the very bottom and lettuce on top—this way it doesn't get soggy!
