Autumn Cobb Salad

INGREDIENTS

• 10 oz desired salad greens, I used baby spring mix + arugula (if feeding a crowd, use 2 large salad containers and keep the rest of recipe the same)

• 4 boiled eggs, chopped

• 3 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled 

• 1/4 c pecans

• 1/2 red onion, chopped (optional)

• 1 apple, chopped

• 1 pear, chopped 

• 1/4-1/3 c crumbled Gorgonzola or goat cheese (I used gorg)

• 1/4 c pumpkin seeds

• 1/4 c olive oil

• 1/4 c apple cider vinegar

• 2 T fresh orange juice (1/2 an orange)

• 1 T Dijon or brown mustard

• 1/4 c nonfat Greek yogurt 

• 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

STEPS

1. Place all ingredients in a covered jar and shake well until combined. 

2. Add all salad ingredients to a bowl and top with dressing. Toss and serve. I like to add a protein source like chicken, steak, tofu, chicken sausage, fish, etc. We had sloppy joes that night so that’s what I put on top of mine. So good! 

3. Makes 12 cups and 6 - 2 cup servings.
