| Thai Cobb Salad |
I know everyone goes crazy for comfort foods at this time of
year, but there are only so many heavy meals I can take before I need to break
it up a little bit. Although this Thai Cobb salad looks like it belongs on the
table sometime in July, you won’t be disappointed to eat it between a night of
soup and chicken pot pie.
Vegetarians can swap sliced hardboiled eggs for the chicken
and throw some extra peanuts on top. The rainbow of colors in this salad makes
it almost too pretty to eat, but you’ll be sold after one bite! A coconut milk
dressing is just the creamy touch this bright, crunchy salad needs. Take a
break from the typical seasonal foods and change things up with this!
