Healthy eating food porn..... can I say that?

.
I have been told a chef salad has more fat and calories than a steak and a baked potato.

Perhaps.... but sometimes I get a craving for 'salad', which by other terms might be called a plate of goodies with lettuce holding them in place.

Munster cheese, salami, stuffed olives, garlic toast rounds, sliced cold chicken, and a BBQ chicken drumstick, with blue cheese dressing on the side. It would have had carrots, but the blasted things sprouted in the fridge.

Is it a 'healthy' salad? No.
Is it a tasty and filling salad plate that satisfies while offering the illusion of eating healthy? Surely!

I could have had pizza tonight, or a few grilled ham and cheddar on rye sandwiches, or even a plate full of warm corn bread with butter melting over the edges. Instead, a slightly healthier salad plate with a few ounces of strong blue cheese dressing. Yum!
