Boy, am I crazy for Cobb salad! It’s stacked high with so many fresh goodies—crunchy greens, diced egg, bacon, blue cheese, avocado and chicken, topped with a creamy ranch dressing. But in this case, salad most definitely doesn’t equal slim! 

In fact, a big bowl could set you back about 1,000 calories (including the dressing). My revamped version has not even half that amount and yet it still features all the Cobb salad favorites complete with a Bacon-Ranch dressing. It’s heaven in a jar.
