$10 Dinners part 5

What to do with all those colored Easter eggs? Today we made a cobb salad.

8. Menu: Cobb salad with toast and jam. This served 8 people.
Shopping list: Lettuce (I used 3/4 of a large head of iceberg), 1/2 large green pepper-chopped, 2 carrots shredded, 2 large tomatoes chopped, 3 stalks chopped celery, 4-6 thin slices of ham (cut into thin strips), 1/2 cup chopped onion or 6 green onions chopped, 5-7 hard boiled eggs-peeled and chopped. Variety of salad dressings to serve on the side. Bread and jam.

Shred the lettuce and add all other ingredients. Slicing ham thin makes it spread around the salad and looks like there's more than there really is. Add chopped eggs last and gently toss so yolks don't disintegrate before it's served. We had run out of onions so I served it without but I sure wanted them. We ate toast and jam for "dessert." Total cost = $6.40 salad only.
