Best Salad Ever! All the flavors are wonderful together. We don't even use any dressing on this salad. It is delicious just as is. Thanks for a great salad Barb!

We loved this salad. I didn't follow the directions for the chicken breasts, though. Instead, I seasoned with our favorite spicy steak seasoning and grilled on the charcoal grill. All of the bacon, eggs, avocado, tomato, and onions gave great flavor and we didn't need the cheese. Loved the simple dressing with the tang of lemon. Yum. Perfect dinner on a hot summer day.

Very good. Love cobb salad and this was no exception. I felt the poultry seasoning was a little overpowering...just didn't taste like it belonged w/ the salad but it was still very good!
