Harvest Cobb Salad
Description
Harvest Cobb Salad combines fresh romaine lettuce as a crunchy base with rows of smoky cooked bacon and diced hard-boiled eggs for protein. Sweet diced apple and pear add Juiciness and seasonal fruit flavors, while pecan halves offer a toasted nutty crunch. Dried cranberries introduce a chewy, tart component contrasted by smooth crumbled goat cheese lending a mild tang.
The salad is served with a homemade poppy seed dressing made from mayonnaise, milk, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds, which adds creamy sweetness and subtle acidic brightness. The bacon is cooked until crisp and eggs are hard-boiled to firm yolks, adding satisfying textures.
This salad is arranged in rows on the lettuce but can be tossed if preferred. It works well as a light lunch or a starter at dinner. Combining seasonal fruits and nuts makes it a fitting choice for harvest-time meals or any day that calls for a salad with varied ingredients.
