chef's salad

Topped with meat

A chef's salad is a large salad typically featuring strips of meat and cheese—often ham, turkey, and Swiss—arranged over mixed greens with hard-boiled eggs and tomatoes.

It's a substantial, meal-sized salad common on American restaurant menus: I'll have the chef's salad with ranch on the side.
