I love fun food and what is more fun than food on a stick, right? We enjoyed dinner on the patio tonight and I made a platter of Chef Salad on a Stick skewers for us to eat. They were simple to make and tasted great- even my toddler was excited to eat salad, y’all! Serve with a side of dressing for dipping and enjoy!

In honor of Buddig’s 75th Anniversary they are having a #ThankYouMealMaker video contest. I made this fun dish, Chef Salad on a Stick,

inspired by my Meal Makers, my parents, who always made fun food for me to try growing up!

A traditional Chef Salad has both turkey and ham so I used Buddig Honey Roasted Turkey slices and Buddig Ham slices. 
Cut the stacked slices into 4ths then fold over a couple for each skewer. 
For this recipe I use 1/2 head iceberg lettuce that is chopped into 10 bite-size chunks.
I like to have all my toppings prepped and ready to go on a platter.
This makes assembly fast and easy.
I decided to add croutons and boiled eggs because they are my kids favorites. But warning they are not easy to thread on skewers.
Be sure to have extra if they break and fall apart!

I am still shocked that my toddler was excited to eat salad!
Thank you Mom and Dad for making fun food for me and being my Meal Makers!
I am so grateful for my foodie family.

    I would either make those salad on a stick skewers (they look delicious) or a sandwich with meat, cheese, lettuce, and avocado!

    Our family would use the ham to make grilled ham and cheese sammies. They're fast and don't heat up the house much in the summer.

    I love them all. I love Monte cristos like many before me and skewers. They all look so delicious. I would have a very hard time deciding.
