Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups torn iceberg lettuce
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
  • 2 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
  • 3/4 cup diced cooked turkey
  • 1-1/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • Salad dressing of choice
  • Optional: Sliced ripe olives and lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • Start by layering the torn iceberg lettuce on a large serving platter or bowl. This creates the fresh, crunchy base of the salad.
  • Arrange the remaining ingredients in neat rows or sections over the lettuce: chopped tomatoes, ripe avocado cubes, diced ham, turkey, mushrooms, and hard-boiled eggs.
  • Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese on top for a tangy finishing touch.
  • Drizzle your choice of salad dressing evenly over the salad when ready to serve.
  • If desired, garnish with sliced ripe olives and lemon wedges for added flavor and visual appeal.
