CALIFORNIA COBB SALAD

A Gooseberry Patch recipe for a classic salad that can also serve as a meal. I am not a fan of bleu cheese, which the recipe calls for, so I would use almost any other kind of cheese on this. Also, I added chicken as an option for the turkey because chicken is easier to find. Enjoy!

Tips:

Prep your ingredients in advance:Chop all your veggies, hard-boil your eggs, and cook your bacon ahead of time to save time when you're assembling your salad.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients:The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful avocado.
Don't overcrowd the salad:Use a large bowl or platter to assemble your salad so that the ingredients have room to breathe. Overcrowding the salad will make it soggy and difficult to toss.
Dress the salad just before serving:This will help prevent the salad from getting soggy. You can either drizzle the dressing over the salad or toss it in a large bowl.
Serve the salad immediately:Chopped salads are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, assemble the salad but wait to add the dressing until just before serving.
