Almost Wordless Wednesday: My Daily Salad Lunch Recipe

Here's my typical lunch on weekdays. 

Not always exactly. The lunch meat may vary, but it's often like this.

The goose egg salad is seasonal. Usually it is chicken. 
One goose egg becomes three days of egg salad for the centerpiece.

I like cherry tomatoes.

I have tried all the Newman's Own salad dressings.
Raspberry Walnut has become my favorite.

I sprinkle these on the egg salad for contrast.

I sprinkle four or five croutons over all for the texture.
