Katie's Cobb

The weather has been so nice so far this week, and I was just feeling the Summer goodness, so tonight was a favorite "Summer dinner" of mine: Salad with lots of goodies. This is not exactly a traditional Cobb Salad, but it's what I like…To remember all the parts of a Cobb Salad, think "EAT COBB".

Eggs
Avocado
Tomato

Cheese
Onions
Bacon (or other pork product - usually diced Ham)
Beans (garbanzo, black, kidney, whatever)

You can see how I varied mine...


For the Salad:

Spring Mix, Baby Romaine, and Baby Spinach Mix Greens
Grilled Chicken (brushed with olive oil and S&P)
Avocado
Hard Boiled Eggs
Bacon
Green Onions
Tomatoes
Feta Cheese (Fat Free)
Squirt of Lime

I served it with a Creamy Avocado Ranch Dressing that I found on Pinterest. I tripled the recipe (tripled amounts reflected below), and these are the exact ingredients I used:

1 1/2 Avocados
1 cup Light Mayo
1 cup Sour Cream
2 TBSP Olive Oil
2 TBSP Lemon Juice
2 ish bunches of Green Onions (mostly the tops, but a little of the whites)
6 TBSP Fresh Parsley
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup Buttermilk
S&P to taste (from grinders)

Combine ingredients and blend.

That's it for tonight. I somehow thought this would come together so quickly, and it would be a snap to throw together. It would have been easier if I hadn't burned an entire package of bacon in the oven (Pinterest FAIL!!) and set off the smoke alarm. twice. ha ha.

Happy Eating!
