Cobb salad makes for an incredibly filling, classic staple. While some recipes call for a fancy vinaigrette, I like to keep it simple with my favorite – the juice of one lemon, a few “glugs” of olive oil, Celtic sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
If you aren’t a fan of blue cheese, throw in some diced cheddar. Like a bit more crunch in your salad? Add some dehydrated sunflower seeds. You can make dozens of variations of this salad based on your favorite flavors.
