Deli Cobb Salad
with creamy yogurt dressing
I love hearty salads during the summer, and one shortcut I love to use is to take advantage of deli meat. It's a quick and easy way to add some protein to an easy dinner.
Ingredients
- Eggs - 4
- Deli meat - 1 lb, chopped ((your choice - I like turkey))
- Cherry tomatoes - 2/3 pint, halve
- Corn - 3 cobs, kernels shaved off
- Romaine hearts - 2, chopped
- Yogurt, plain or Greek - 1/4 cup
- Olive oil - 1/3 cup
- Lemon juice - 1/3 cup
- Garlic - 1 clove, peeled
- Cilantro - 1/4 bunch
- Avocado, small - 2, cubed

Very good. I take issue with the directions a bit. 3/8 a bunch of cilantro is not a really a unit of measurement.
If you like the cilantro dressing from Trader Joe's the yogurt dressing in this recipe is a really good substitute!! (and I'm sure it is healthier than the TJ version) I LOVE this salad!!! I used bacon instead of lunchmeat and it was perfect
So easy, and at first (well, after I got over the horror of having a salad for dinner), I just thought it was good... But then I found myself craving the leftovers the next night! Will do again (and I had to google how to cook corn, haha, but so worth it!)
