Southwest Cobb Salad
Report
We love this version of a Southwest Cobb Salad! It's loaded with all the yummy bits, has basic structure of a delicious cobb salad, but ramped up to give it southwest style vibes! Our cilantro-ranch dressing is super addictive and pairs perfectly with this entree salad!

Notes
- Lettuce Washing Tips
- To easily wash lettuce for this Cobb salad (and any other chopped salad), follow these simple steps:
- Chop lettuce into bite-sized pieces with a clean knife and cutting board.
- Add the chopped lettuce to a bowl of cold water and let the leaves soak for a few minutes, gently agitating them with your hand to loosen any dirt or particles on the leaves.
- If you have a salad spinner, add chopped lettuce leaves to the spinner basket and let cold water run over them to remove any debris. Then, spin the leaves until most of the water has been removed.
- Without a salad spinner, add the leaves to a strainer, run under cold water for a few minutes, then let most of the water run off. Gently dry with a clean cloth or paper towel until mostly dry.
