Salad on a stick makes the perfect handheld meal, and there's no better salad out there to skewer than classic chef's salad. Loaded with meats, cheeses and veggies, these skewers would be perfectly at home as a BBQ side dish or a great addition to a picnic menu. With a batch of easy-to-peel hard-boiled eggs, there's no cooking required. They can be made ahead in the morning and will stay perfect for lunch time. Best of all, they're fun to eat. No need to stay seated for this salad course—just grab a skewer and keep enjoying the party!

    Cut each hardboiled egg into four pieces. Slice the cucumber lengthwise, then cut into half circles, about 1/2-inch thick.

  3. Step 3
    Cut the Swiss cheese block into 16 squares.
  4. Step 4
    Alternating pieces, place 2 pieces each of Swiss cheese, cucumber, tomato and egg; 1 pinwheel each of ham, turkey, and roast beef; and 3 pieces of lettuce, each folded up into a bundle, on each skewer. Finish each skewer with 1 green olive.
  5. Step 5
    Serve on a platter drizzled with ranch dressing and sprinkled with black pepper. Serve immediately.
