What makes a chef's salad a chef's salad: Traditionally, strips of meats

and cheeses on top of mixed greens. This meatless version outshines the

chef salad of the '70s with spinach, cabbage, kidney beans, fresh

vegetables, and a homemade low-fat dressing.

 

In a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise dressing or salad dressing, sour

cream, wine vinegar, garlic, marjoram, mustard, and salt. Stir in the milk.

 

In a large salad bowl toss together the lettuce, spinach, red cabbage,

kidney beans, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, zucchini, sweet pepper, and

radishes. Pour the salad dressing over all, tossing to coat. Divide

mixture among 4 plates. Arrange egg slices on salad. Makes 4 main-dish

servings.
