Chef Salad with Goat Cheese

Chef Salad with Goat Cheese
Twice a week we enjoy a chef salad. While chopping a variety of fresh vegetables it gives us a chance to talk about our day and unwind. We add tons of vegetables and top it off with almonds and roasted pumpkin seeds. We alternate the type of cheese we use. One of our favorites is goat cheese.		Total Time: 15 min for 2 people Serves 2
Spinach or Spring Mix	Tear off stems and tear with fingers
1 stalk celery ½ small onion ¼ small zucchini 1 small cucumber 1/4 red bell pepper 8 cherry tomatoes ¼ cup matchstick carrots 8 slices pickled beets 1 hardboiled egg 1/4 cup chickpeas	Slice, about ¼” Chop fine Slice, about ½”, then quarter Slice, about ¼” Cut lengthwise, 1/4" slices Slice in half Slice thin Chop
Handful slivered almonds Handful roasted pumpkin seeds Crumbled goat cheese	Sprinkle on top of salads
4 slices cooked ham	Slice thin and place on omnivore’s portion

We had my brother for dinner and made a slightly larger salad for him. We always use small plates for us and surprisingly, get full eating this for our dinner.
