To make 4 servings of chef's salad, begin by making hard-boiled eggs. Place eggs in the bottom of a small saucepan and cover generously with cold water. Set over high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook for 9 minutes. Remove from the heat and run cold water into the pot continuously for 3 minutes. Drain and peel the eggs. Cut into quarters or slice.

Divide lettuce among four large plates. Arrange chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese (sliced or cubed), ham, turkey and the eggs on top, dividing evenly.
