The Cobb Salad is a classic for lunch or a light dinner. My friend Amy James gave me this recipe as part of her series for making four meals from leftovers of Pan Roasted Chicken, Lemon Herb Potatoes, and Oven-Roasted Farmers’ Market Vegetables. Also in the meal plan are Rosemary, Feta and Potato Grilled Pizza, Chicken and Black Bean Burrito Bowl and Chicken and Vegetable Fried Rice.
