the ten dollar salad

the name of this comes from my sister who used to work at a HoJos, or more formally a Howard Johnsons restaurant. there was a one-price salad bar and of course some customers probably abused the concept. to organize this would cost more than ten dollars, certainly, but assemble what's available from leftovers and it's a cool and inexpensive answer to WFD?

the salad:
lettuce
carrots
onions
celery
cabbage
frozen peas, thawed
broccoli
cauliflower
radishes
etc














the stuff on top that makes it taste good, makes it an expensive, calorie-wise choice:
ham
cheddar
hard-boiled eggs
turkey
sesame seeds
raisins
chinese noodles
croutons



the idea is to make everything bite sized and an interesting combination of flavors
for this, ken's steak house thousand island is the only choice for dressing.
