​How to make the ultimate chef salad

This meat- and cheese-packed meal may be the most satisfying salad known to man.

Chef salad

However, traditional chef salads run light on the protein and too heavy handed on the fats. This one, from my new Men's Health book The MetaShred Diet, gives you the nutritional balance you need to get lean and fuel your muscles without compromising on the taste and ingredients that you have come to love.

Watch the video above to see how to make it, and here's the recipe for easy reference.

2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 slice Swiss cheese, cut into strips

1 slice provolone cheese, cut into strips
