    Cobb Salad with Yogurt Dill Dressing

    Cobb Salad is a great way to eat a delicious variety of food all in one healthy salad. Make it to tailor your tastes and what you may have in your fridge.

    A colorful Cobb Salad with rows of egg, tomato, ham, avocado, and cottage cheese.

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2014. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    Last weekend I made a spiral ham on the smoker, and it was delicious! Unfortunately, there were only two of us home to eat it, (my husband and myself) which made for a lot of ham leftovers. Naturally, I had to think of a few ways to use up all the leftover ham in the fridge so I decided to make this Kudos Cobb Salad which was inspired by a recipe I saw on Damn Delicious.

    One thing you'll notice if you go to Damn Delicious to check out her cobb salad is that her photos are pure perfection! Mine...not so much. But, you do what you can in the late afternoon, as the sun is setting, and your company is just moments from ringing the doorbell!

    This Cobb Salad can be served as a side dish or as a main course and it's a great way to use up any leftover ham that you may have in the fridge.

    Save this for later.

    We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

    Email forwarding service for saving information.

    Feel free to also play around with the ingredients as you see fit. I think some chopped marinated artichoke hearts would go wonderfully well in this, or maybe some chopped salami, bacon (naturally), blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries (just for a little sweet to brighten things up).

    You get the idea. Have fun and play around with the flavors and ingredients you love! There are no rules to cooking in your own kitchen, just enjoy yourself. Oh, and have somebody else do the dishes! LOL

      Cobb salad is such a great meal idea. Your added serving suggestions sound lovely and what you served up looks wonderful (the avocado is a great idea).

        Thank you very much! I've been eating the dressing on other things too. It makes a yummy sandwich spread as well 🙂
