I love love love a good salad. “A big salad? With lots of stuff in it?” Yeah, I also lovelovelove Seinfeld. Anywho, I found this recipe online by Kelsey Nixon. I used the exact recipe, and made the dressing…but I HATED the dressing. Sorry Kelse! Anyway, I’m not including it here, so use your favorite dressing. I prefer homemade Ranch, but I bet Bleu Cheese would be good, as well.
Cobb Salad

DIRECTIONS
- Rinse and dry all the salad greens, and toss them together in a large bowl. Arrange the chicken, bacon, avocado, tomato, and Roquefort in uniform rows on top the mixed greens. Garnish with the grated hard-boiled egg, and chives.
