Summer Cobb Salad

When you think of the perfect summer meal, what do you think of? For me, it’s a lot of fresh salads and tall glasses of Lipton fresh-brewed iced tea! It just makes me think of lazy and relaxing lunches in the sun with family and friends, and well, that just makes me pretty happy! Summer should be all about spontaneous days with loved ones enjoying the summer weather whether you are pool-side or on a picnic. I could sit outside all day with a glass of iced tea just disconnecting and chatting with loved ones! I have fond memories from when I was younger of my dad brewing iced tea out in the backyard sun followed by summer cookouts with family. Now as an adult, I live off fresh iced tea and salads all summer long!

Summer Cobb Salad

And what is my most favorite salad of all time? The Cobb Salad. I just love the toppings. And today, I’ve created a fun summer version of the Cobb Salad! This summery version is loaded with fresh strawberries and blueberries, creamy diced avocado, jack cheese, almonds, and chicken! The dressing is also easy and fabulous. It’s my go-to dressing recipe that always works well with any salad.
