Best Vegan Chef Salad

I am the Salad Queen!!  Salad is my comfort food — I have one very day.  Most people don’t think this is possible until they taste my Best Vegan Chef Salad!

I don’t mean to brag, but after making the hundreds of salads I have made over the years you begin to figure out which veggies work best in what healthy combination.  After many requests, I finally put together my Best Vegan Chef Salad guide together and will share it here:
