Chicken, Ham, and Cheese Salad
Ensalada de Pollo, Jamón, y Queso CazadoresOn the menu at Restaurant Cazadores in the colonial city of Zacatecas this Chef's Salad was the house specialty. It was attractively arranged and certainly large enough for a whole meal. At home I arrange the salad on a large platter for self-service
