I always just mixed things up- 3 different items at a time, at least 1 leafy green, no single item more than 2 feedings per week, was how I went.
There is a great deal of info about making salad for iguanas online. This info is a great way to start when thinking about the veggie part of a diet for a veiled, also information for bearded dragon salad would also be a good way to learn. Because insects form a large part of the diet, the diet can be a little more flexible than that for iguanas, however, yet you can't go wrong following the rules for iguanas strictly either.
To feed, I have always chopped and shredded items to the consistancy of coleslaw then mixed well so favorites can't be selected out, and then put in a bowl and feeder insects added afterwards to the salad. The moving insects at first attract the chameleon to feed, and veggies are accidentally picked up along with the insects. Later the chameleon will learn to feed from the salad when they aren't present (sounds like yours probably will not need to learn this). Insects that burrow into the salad and make it move, such as superworms or mealworms, are nice sometimes for this reason also.
