This dressing was delicious . Bleu cheese was added but otherwise the recipe was followed exactly. I would make it again in a heartbeat. Thank you for allowing me to produce a restaurant-quality Cobb salad.
0 HelpfulI wasn't thrilled with the bbq tofu from last night, but when I added it to the salad, combined with the dressing, I loved it!
0 HelpfulA really great change of pace. Great dressing recipe and the combination of the barbequed chicken, smoky bacon and corn made it outstanding. Even the hard to please family members liked it.
0 HelpfulGreat flavors. Next time, I wouldn't cook the corn in bacon grease. It was really good when we ate it for dinner, but the grease had all congealed for my lunch the next day.
