4 cups lettuce, chopped
1 tomato, cut into eighths
2 hard-boiled eggs, cooled, peeled & sliced
1/2 each of red, yellow and green peppers, chopped
1 small red onion, sliced thinly
1 small carrot, peeled and grated
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup toupie ham, chopped
1/2 cup roast beef, chopped
1/2 cup roast turkey, chopped
Dressing:
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped fine
2 tsp whole grain Dijon

Mix dressing ingredients together and whisk well. Set aside to allow the flavours to meld for about 1/2 hour at room temperature. Divide lettuce between two plates. Divide all remaining ingredients between both plates and arrange attractively on top of the lettuce. Whisk dressing again right before drizzling over salad. Serves 2.
