Summertime salads happen at least a couple of times a week at our house because when the weather is this hot outside, turning on the oven just isn’t an option. There is one salad in particular that we have almost weekly and that’s a classic Cobb salad. I have several different versions of Cobb salads that I have shared with you before, but for some reason I have managed to forget to share the one recipe that started them all. There is something so good about the mix of ingredients in a Cobb salad and I love making my homemade ranch dressing to serve with it. This is salad that got my son eating salads again so you know that it is delicious! Today I am sharing the best grilled chicken Cobb salad that you need to add to your weekly dinner rotation as soon as possible.
If your goal is to eat more plants this year, salads are a great go-to option for lunch or dinner. You can pack in all the veggies and on top of that, the possibilities are endless with the different flavor combinations that you can mix up. For me, a good salad is all about texture and the dressing that I use. Salad dressings can make or break whether I can really enjoy a salad or not. If the dressings are tasty, I can switch up my salads and eat them multiple times a week. Because of this fact, I started making my own dressings years ago and haven’t looked back since. The flavors are just so much better than store bought dressings that there is no comparison. I have so many different ones that I make, but I compiled my top five favorite dressings that I make the most for you to try at home too. I have 5 simple homemade salad dressings that will transform the way you think about salads and will help you eat more plants all year long!
