It is summer and there is nothing more refreshing like a good old salad. This one is a staple everywhere – in my waitressing day this use to be a one of the top sellers at the restaurant I use to work at- with good reason. It is light yet satisfying too.

Loaded with shrimp, avocado, eggs, cheese and bacon. What’s not to love? The arrangement with all the colors is amazing and the taste is an explosion of flavors in your mouth.

This salad is usually made with iceberg lettuce but you should ditch it – yes iceberg gets a bad rep all the time. You know why?  Because it has very little nutritional value- go with romaine lettuce instead or mix spring greens and get in a bit more vitamins.

The choice of vegetables, protein and cheese vary in this salad you may add tomatoes, cucumber and switch shrimp for grill chicken or beef.

Same rule applies with the cheese. Cobb salad is mostly made with blue cheese. For the life of me, I do not like buying blue cheese- it never tastes  good at home and no one would as much as take a bite of any recipe that has blue cheese. Here, I used a mild cheese (feta cheese)

Serve this with this reduce calorie buttermilk ranch dressing or you may use your favorite salad dressing

Enjoy!
