A classic dish served in cafeterias all around that has its own quick version in my kitchen. Very attractive for hot summer days when one does not want to mess up a lot one’s diet is this chef’s salad. The amounts to be used depend on you, however, I propose here a personal portion.

As you can see, this recipe is probably the simplest possible and it can be modified depending on what you want on a specific day. If you don’t want something or you don’t like it, just exchange it with something you would prefer. For example, in the salad I photographed I added avocado and pine nuts. I had them and I fancied them, so, I added a little bit of both.
