Lately it has been such a struggle to figure out what to make the kids for dinner. I am always trying to come up with something new and different to please all three of my kids. I made this Easy Cobb Salad recipe last week, and it was quite the hit. I used chopped rotisserie chicken, but leftover grilled chicken, shrimp or steaks would also be a nice addition. Between my daughter’s dance practices three nights a week and my two boy’s basketball schedules, January and February has been nuts. This main dish salad is a great new recipe that all three of them agreed that they really liked. Prepare your own salad dressing using red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and olive oil or use ranch or blue cheese. Have a great week ahead!

I've always enjoyed a good Cobb Salad. Not only is it delicious, it makes a beautiful presentation. And, of course, I always opt for the blue cheese dressing :-)
