Superfood Cobb Salad

I love salads with lots of "stuff" in them. In the warm months, I like to make salads for dinner as a light and refreshing meal that doesn't involve the oven. I've always loved Cobb salads because they're usually packed with so much stuff including blue cheese which is my favoriteeeee. 

Cobb salads are typically served with ranch dressing which is usually loaded with fat and weird preservatives. I decided to make my own ranch dressing by using mostly Greek yogurt instead of pure mayo. Even though my version doesn't taste like the typical ranch, it still tastes pretty darn good. 

This salad is bursting with superfoods- eggs, avocado, cucumber- YOU NAME IT. If you want the superfood facts of these just click on any of the above and it will take you to past recipes.
