Cobb Salad


                       
I love to order a Cobb salad when I go out to restaurants but this was the first time I made one at home and this was fantastic. I will be making this again real soon.  It is a very filling salad.  I found this recipe at Allrecipes.com.  I did make a few small changes to the original recipe.  I used turkey bacon in place of regular bacon.  I also used shredded cheddar cheese instead of blue cheese.  Hope you enjoy!
