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!

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!

I like making a version of a grilled reuben with pastrami and swiss cheese.

I LOVE the salad skewers! A full heathy meal on a stick! Plus a lite salad dressing to dip – yummy. I would use a lite Garlic or Ranch dressing. If there wasn’t any lite dressings available, I would use the regular versions of them. Thank you for sharing!
