RECIPE: Classic Cobb Salad

Making this salad is like putting in a garden. You “plant” everything in nice, neat sections, resulting in a hunger-busting salad full of fresh vegetables and protein-rich meat and eggs.

Ingredients

• 6 cups torn iceberg lettuce
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
• 3/4 cup diced fully cooked ham
• 2 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
• 3/4 cup diced cooked turkey
• 1-1/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• Salad dressing of choice (see tip)
• Optional: Sliced ripe olives and lemon wedges

Tip: Lighten up your salad by swapping ranch or Caesar dressing for a healthier, vinaigrette-like balsamic or oil and vinegar.

Prep time: 20 minutes
