If there's one thing we can count on, it's leftovers. And if there's one thing leftovers are really good at doing (besides getting forgotten in the fridge), it's turning a meh salad into a magnificent meal. A chef's salad - with its brilliant balance of crisp, protein-packed, and satisfying - is our favorite way to use leftover ham, turkey, and chicken. Simultaneously! Whatever combination of ingredients you choose, this simple mustard vinaigrette will really compliment the rich flavors.
Build your salad starting with the chopped romaine (or other greens of your choice), and add as many of the other ingredients as you want. If you're into building mason-jar salads, this one's fantastic to make the night before and grab on your way out the door!
