There are so many delicious salads out there to dip your fork into, from Caesar to chef to the create-your-own variety. I always enjoy a good Cobb salad, which consists of a little bit of everything I love, including greens, tomatoes, bacon, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, cheese and usually a flavorful vinaigrette to top it all off. Here, I use my grated egg trick to create confetti-like pieces and ensure there’s eggy goodness in every bite. Then, I finish it off with my DIY Blue Cheese-Ranch Dressing— it’s rich and creamy, yet light enough to enjoy a healthy, heavy-handed drizzle. Feel free to swap any ingredients based on your preferences or what you have on hand—you can design your own Cobb canvas!
