Cool Chef's Salad on Royal Worcester, Evesham Vale Plate

It's hot!  But you still need to make dinner.  Here's a full and satisfying (yet cool) meal that works great on a hot summer's day.  Okay, I lied, you do need to boil a couple of eggs ... but other than that, we are completely stove-free preparation here!

Chef's Salad.  Done right, this baby is full of lovely cuts of deli meats, hard-boiled eggs, cheese and lots of veg.  The dressing is really easy to make.  Put the salad in the fridge 20 minutes before serving and it is wonderful!  It is satisfying in itself, but if some are still hungry, just have a couple of crusty buns on hand.  Save a bit of the meat, cheese and lettuce and they can make an accompanying sandwich to go with!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
