Cobb Salad

Cobb Salad

by Pam on April 23, 2014

I just found my new favorite salad. This may not be a traditional Cobb Salad because  I used turkey breast instead of chicken and feta cheese instead of blue cheese, but that’s what I had on hand, so that’s what I used. It was hearty and filling without making me feel stuffed. I used Fran’s Vinaigrette and it topped this salad perfectly!

Place the romaine lettuce and mixed greens in the bottom of a salad bowl. Arrange the onion, turkey, tomato, feta cheese, carrots, bacon, hard boiled egg, and avocado in rows across the lettuce. Serve immediately with Fran’s Vinaigrette or dressing of your choice on the side. Enjoy.

Chipotle Lobster and Avocado Wrap

Chipotle lobster salad with avocado, scallions, cilantro and lettuce on a whole wheat wrap – fabulous!!

A few weeks ago I grabbed a bite at Lenny’s clam bar with my husband and daughter and we ordered the special – the chipotle lobster avocado burrito. It was SOOO good I HAD to recreate a lighter version of it myself.

I don’t eat lobster often because it’s not cheap, but I love it and like to treat myself once in a while, especially in the summer. I went to my local fish market and bought a 2 pound lobster and had them steam it for me (I personally don’t love cooking live lobsters). All the fish markets near me steam them for you for the same price as buying it live. This yielded enough lobster meat for 4 servings.

Then I tossed the lobster with lemon juice, a little light mayo and yogurt to make it creamy and added some chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to give it a little kick. Tossed in some chopped scallion and fresh cilantro and the lobster salad was delicious.

I wrapped it on a whole wheat tortilla with avocado and lettuce (you can lower the carbs and make it gluten free by turning this into a lettuce wrap) and had myself a fabulous lunch over a bed of greens.

If you want to make a lunch to impress or even a light dinner, this is the perfect wrap!

Mixed Greens with Strawberries, Extra Sharp White Cheddar, and Candied Pecans with a Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

Mixed Greens with Strawberries, Extra Sharp White Cheddar, and Candied Pecans with a Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

by Pam on July 23, 2013

While eating lunch this past weekend, my husband discovered that fresh strawberries and with extra sharp white cheddar tasted really great together. We were heading to a friend’s house for dinner and I was in charge of bringing a salad. I decided to make a summery salad using strawberries and the extra sharp cheddar along with mixed greens, romaine lettuce, cucumber, and candied pecans. I served the salad with a homemade Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette[1]. This salad was a huge hit and even our friend’s kids who don’t like salads ate theirs. I love that!
