cobb salad

I always feel like I eat nonstop on the weekends- dinners with friends, tailgating, birthday brunches, etc., so I try and make  lighter meals during the week.  One of my favorites is a big cobb salad with warm, crusty bread.  I have to give credit to SHS for starting the tradition of having this salad, waaaaay back when we were in Charlotte.  Every time I make it Josh and I smile about all of those dinners we had together!

The beauty of making a big salad is that you can change the ingredients to your taste.  The recipe below is what we usually use, but many people like to include cherry tomatoes, bacon, or other veggies.  Mix it up and enjoy!
