Cobb Salad at Home

     We threw the bacon on parchment and into the oven to bake to the perfect amount of crisp.  Eggs were boiled, peeled and chopped.  Campari tomatoes were sweet and juicy.  I substituted chicken for some tender turkey breast meat.  Spring mix and spinach were the foundation for these delicious toppings and a few extras for good measure.  I looked up what made a Cobb a true cobb and eggs, bacon, tomatoes and chicken were the big guys.  It was just fine if I added some cucumber and chick peas.  I designed the plates with a color wheel of toppings and they were devoured by all.  The children helped make them, plated most of them in Top Chef style and ate them faster than anything we've had in a long time.  Though the Cobb who originated this dish was NOT the famous ball player we can still say it was a hit and a home run!
