Try this classic Cobb salad made with a quick homemade dressing, courtesy of delish.com. If you want to make this ahead of time, we recommend storing the lettuce, eggs, chicken, bacon, and chives in one container. Then you can peel the avocado and chop it along with the tomatoes before adding to the salad and tossing with dressing. Everything will keep in the fridge like that for up to 3 days. Serves 4-6.
