isalad: Chef Salad Your Way

I was contemplating my waistline in light of a trip to Hawaii.  My diet recipe book advised me to have a Chef's Salad for lunch.  What is a Chef's Salad?  A salad made by a chef:  me––or you, using creative license.

Greens:
red leaf lettuce cut up
endive sliced
arugula cut up
basil chopped
Add:
red onion chopped
cherry tomatoes halved
mushrooms sliced
ham diced
Alpine Lace cheese chopped
green beans (leftover cooked) chopped
black olives sliced

Dressing:  Pour a couple of tablespoons of good quality olive oil in a bowl.  Add about one tablespoon red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and small amount minced shallot.  Beat with a wisk or fork until it is creamy and emulsified.  Remove your chef's hat and enjoy.
