Classic Cobb Salad
As a tradition, I like to introduce my 1st Club foody recipe of the year with a salad. It’s a great way to start the New Year. With all the parties we attended during the last few weeks and the indulging we did during the Holidays, it’s time to get back to healthy eating habits.
Salads are definitely a good start and here are a few to choose from; Julienne, Waldorf, Asian Chicken, Crab Louie, Caesar, Greek, Winter Citrus, Tabbouleh, Bacon Wedge, Quinoa Beet, just to name a few, including this featured recipe… my Classic Cobb Salad!
This is a popular salad that most everyone has had at one time in their life. With lettuce, chicken, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes and many other fresh ingredients, this Classic Cobb Salad is always a great healthy choice. I like to add crumbled bacon (it’s so good…) but of course, it’s optional especially if you’re checking your calorie intake.
This salad is absolutely amazing with Blue Cheese Dressing and obviously, I use my homemade version instead of the store bought ones. Would a Classic Cobb Salad be the same without that specific dressing? Some might prefer another dressing like Ranch or Thousand Island… it’s all about preferences.
Start 2020 on the right foot with this delicious salad… It’s very easy to prepare, healthy and a lovely meal to have after the Holiday season. This Classic Cobb Salad is surely a good one to enjoy more often…
Bon Appétit!
