Chef Salad

I want to apologize for not posting for a while.  Last week we lost our home Internet for about 4 days and our mobile devices couldn't get a good enough signal to post anything.  It was very frustrating.  I was also away at a GFWC VA Conference over the weekend.  I didn't cook much of anything in the kitchen during that time, so you didn't miss anything.

The other night my husband roasted a ham in the oven so tonight I decided to use that ham in a large chef salad.  Here were the ingredients:

Lettuce
Spinach
Ham (nitrate free)
Carrot
Yellow bell pepper
Tomato
Cheddar Cheese
Swiss Cheese
Avocado
Ground pepper
French Dressing

Homemade French Dressing
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup olive oil
Place all ingredients into a jar and shake until mixed.

Simple Salad

The weather where we live has gotten rather warm very quickly.  Because of this huge shift in the weather the last thing I wanted to do is heat up the kitchen (our outdoor grill hasn't been cleaned for use yet) so we opted to make a salad for dinner.

The salad consisted of:
Red Boston Lettuce
Green Leaf Lettuce
Carrots, sliced
Cucumbers, sliced
Green Pepper, diced
Dried Cranberries
Aged Cheddar Cheese pieces
French Dressing

Here is how I make the French Dressing:

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 clove of garlic, pressed
1/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup olive oil
Put all contents into a jar and shake until mixed.
