Harvest Cobb Salad

The Cobb Salad. It’s my most favorite salad of all time I think. What’s not to love about it? All those delicious toppings, it’s hard to resist! Whenever I see it on a menu, I almost always have to try it. I started thinking about making a fall version and then could not get the idea out of mind!

This Harvest Cobb Salad is full of fall flavors. First, I roasted some butternut squash with a touch of cinnamon. Then I added diced honeycrisp apple and walnuts. I also stuck with some of the more traditional Cobb salad toppings like avocado and hard boiled eggs and threw on some chicken. For the dressing, I mixed up a big batch of my favorite apple cider vinaigrette because what other dressing would be more perfect for such a salad?!
