Kosher Cobb Salad

I am not sure what it is about Cobb Salad, but I have always loved it. Before keeping kosher (yes . . . there was a time), it was one of my favorite things to order at a few frequented specific restaurants. I am not sure why I never thought to make it before starting my low-carb lifestyle, but a Kosher Cobb Salad is just as good as I remember the original. This salad makes a filling, delicious dinner -- and my husband loved it as well. Another good, simple, and easy weeknight dinner i'm adding to the list.
