Cobb Salad
Somedays, all I want to do is head out to Sweet Tomatoes and have an all you can eat salad buffet with unlimited soups and a few other starchy things on the side. I never opt for dessert because I'm usually a stuffed pig by the time everyone is ready to hit the yogurt bar. No thank you.
They do NOT serve Cobb Salads there but whenever I get around to making this, I'm always like, YUMMMM, we should do this more often!
So again, after making this for dinner the other night, only because I didn't have anything thawed, AND Hubby had made 6 hard boiled eggs, I got to chopping. Took me a whole 15, maybe 20 minutes top ... even to make it pretty like so!
It's really easy to make and I figure it's a bonus that I generally have everything on hand for the most part since I try to keep a healthy fridge! I even had a little bit of blue cheese crumbles left to put on Hubby's since that's what HE looks forward to when he orders it!
Me? I just stuck to the basics and used my homemade Honey Mustard Dressing too ... after we were done eating, we looked at each other and gave a high five ... these salads hit the spot!
Here's what you need:
1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, torn (or cut) in to bite size pieces
1 head of butter lettuce, torn (or cut) in to bite size pieces
handful of grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 seedless cucumber, cut in half, quartered and chopped into small bite size pieces
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
bacon bits
ham or turkey, chopped (I used ham this time around)
shredded cheddar cheese
optional - crumbled blue cheese
optional - diced avocado (highly recommend but didn't have any)
Ranch, Honey Mustard OR Blue Cheese Dressing (these are 3 tried and true recipes!)
Ready to build this bowl of awesomeness?
Add a handful of each lettuce to each bowl, more or less as you'd like. Put the lunchmeat down the center of the bowl.
Add a line of tomatoes and then a line of bacon bits.
Add a line of cucumbers and a line of cheddar cheese.
Add a line of eggs and then the avocado if using.
Garnish with the blue cheese crumbles if desired.
Serve with your dressing served on the side. I like to keep my salad pretty when I eat it. Hubby, on the other hand, grabbed a big mixing bowl and dumped his pretty salad in there so he could properly "dress" his salad ;-) MEN.
This is a big hit and I highly recommend you give it a try!

I love a good cobb salad. Pinned! Thanks for sharing with us this week at Brag About It!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Hubby, I like dressing on every piece of my salad. When I saw this I went right to the fridge & got out some bacon for the salads tonight (inspired by you).
ReplyDeleteI've found you & come to visit through the Sunday's Best link party; I hope you'll find time to stop on by the 4Shoes one day & let me know you've been.
:-)
This looks so fresh and amazing! YUM!
