A Note From feedfeed
What I love about a Cobb Salad is its versatility. Don't like blue cheese? Swap in some cheddar. Feel like your tomatoes are out of season? Swap 'em out for something else. This version leans heavily on end-of-summer veggies with sweet corn, beets, and perfect tomatoes.
This is a hearty salad that you can easily prep ahead and assemble before just before eating or serving to guests. If you're looking for a make-ahead situation for your Labor Day plans, this is your sign!
