Regency’s Guide to the Perfect Summer Salad
We know that summer days are hot and the last thing on your agenda is to go home and spend time cooking on the hot stove. Salads are a great meal to add to your summer rotation and help you feel refreshed during those hotter days. We’ve provided you with the recipe for some great salads to add to your menu.
Chef’s Salad
Ingredients:
- Lettuce
- Hard-boiled Egg

- Cheddar Cheese

- We suggest washing all the vegetables before you begin cutting them for your meal.
- Then take a large bowl and chop the lettuce into 1-inch ribbons
- Place the lettuce in the large bowl.
- Cut the cucumber, tomato, and avocado into ½-inch matchsticks. Place these in the bowl. We suggest you do so artfully so you may Instagram the salad later.
- If you need to boil your egg or cook your ham or chicken, we suggest you do so. (Good substitutes include pre-pulled chicken from Maple Leaf, Back Bacon, or any assortment of deli meats). Cut all these ingredients into bite-size pieces. Add them to your salad in an artful manner.
- Finally, Crumble Blue cheese onto your salad and use the ranch to dress (or use a blue cheese dressing)
