It’s May and we just enjoyed a gorgeous warm weekend that made me have a craving for summer and my delicious Cobb Salad. I made a big bowl for lunch today and I thought I would share it with you. I particularly enjoy this salad in the summer when the tomatoes, corn and radishes are in abundance.

Traditionally, the Cobb salad is an American garden salad typically made with chopped salad greens, tomato, crisp bacon, chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, chives, blue cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette. The ingredients are laid out on a plate in neat rows.

I make mine without blue cheese and add cottage cheese instead. I also use prosciutto and omit the chicken. My version includes corn on the cob and a red-wine avocado vinaigrette dressing instead of chopped avocado. It is delicious and I hope you enjoy it and get that summer feeling!

Gail’s Vegetable Cobb Salad

I enjoy making this salad when fresh tomatoes, corn and radishes are in season! My version is a little different from the traditional Cobb Salad, but I absolutely love my avocado vinaigrette and my other additions.
