Simply Fantastic! After looking at the "dressing" portion of the ingredients, I didn't have too-high-a-hope, but that opinion was soon changed when tasted. Each ingredient was placed in separate bowls, and we each added them to our bowls of romaine. Then the lemon juice, good quality extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper was sprinkled over all. End result is that the combination of flavors and the dressing is much better than pouring a store bought dressing. In my opinion that was the beauty in flavor, simple and clean and the cheese was never missed. Thank you Irish in the City for a keeper that will be added to my recipe files!

This was just excellent and made for a great dinner. I used a bought Butter & Garlic flavored chicken which had a wonderful flavor. And besides chopping things up a little differently, made as directed. Loved the simplicity of the lemon juice. I forgot how much I like that on salads. Although you have this titled (No Cheese) you have shredded cheese in the instructions. I left it out and didn't miss it at all. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 09 :)

After tasting my very first Cobb Salad, I went straight to RecipeZaar to find it! I chose this one and was not dissapointed! The only change I made was I just bought a grilled chicken and used the meat from that. Everything else I did as described, and DH and I loved it!!! Served with hot hard rolls, it was a delicious meal. Thank you for sharing!
