Deconstructed Cobb salad

Here's what you need:

Salad greens forget iceberg I used romain and spinach
Salad goodies raddishes, carrots, green onions, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes,  whatever your favorites are
Hard boiled eggs 1 for every 3 eaters

Cooked and crumbled bacon 1 slice per person Cheese, blue is traditional and a little goes a long way, I also like cheddar about 1 tablespoon per person

Cooked shredded chicken breast

Salad dressing of choice, low fat is best if you're going healthy.

Boil eggs and cook chicken and bacon first and let cool  or use leftover roast chicken

Clean and chop salad greens and goodies

A regular Cobb salad is a beautiful presentation of all the ingredients nestled on a bed of greens in rows, with the dressing already on it.  Unfortunately if served this way the leftovers get soggy and limp.  I serve the greens  in a   bowl with small bowls and plates of the other ingredients in a circle around the larger bowl..   Add the dressing of your choice.  This works great if you have picky people in your house, everyone gets the toppings they want.  By limiting the cheese,  bacon and  choice of dressing this is a really healthy meal.  Even guys that don't think salad is a proper meal can fill up with this one.  Add a loaf of warm crusty bread and dinner is ready. Just shove the leftovers in small zip top bags for storage.  This makes a great lunch the next day.

 BTW the cool salad bowl is a Salvation Army store find.  I think it was $5.00,  it had a $45.00 price tag still on it.
