Notes
This recipe is easily customizable. The dressing is a simple vinaigrette flavored with garlic. It also has a little mayonnaise added to give it a little creaminess. Since Cobb salad is a heavier salad, I like a lighter dressing on it. A bottled Ranch dressing or Blue Cheese dressing can be used instead.
- Cucumbers, red bell pepper, or radishes make a great addition.
- Use mixed greens or iceberg lettuce instead of romaine.
- Don’t like blue cheese? Try using feta cheese or shredded cheddar cheese.
- Some toasted walnuts, pecans, or almonds are a great addition.
- You could also sprinkle a spoonful of hemp seeds on the salad. They are full of good nutrition and have a great nutty flavor.
