How To: Recipe Makeover – Vegetarian Cobb Salad
I know this title may read like an oxymoron. Bacon and chicken are two of the ingredients typically found in a Cobb salad, joining eggs, blue cheese, tomatoes, and avocados. But who says you can’t deviate from the original now and then? What would life be like if we were all the same, right? When…
