Chef Salad

2 lg. heads of lettuce, broken up (may use other leafy greens such as kale or spinach)
3/4 lb. ham, diced
1c. diced velveeta cheese*
1c. diced American cheese*
6 med. tomatoes, diced
1 lg. green pepper, diced (may substitute another vegetable or beans)
1 med. chopped onion (may use green onions)
6 stalks diced celery (optional or may use another vegetable)
1&1/2c. chopped red cabbage (optional)
6 hard boiled eggs, shells removed and eggs diced (optional)
1 lb. turkey slices, cut up

*may use another combination of 2 cheeses such as cheddar and swiss.

Mix ingredients together in a large bowl and serve with your favorite salad dressings.  May sprinkle berries (i.e. blueberries, chopped strawberries, etc.) over salad just before serving. This makes a very large salad--may half the recipe for a smaller salad.
