I have this dream where I have this big yard, filled with plants and flowers and vegetables. And an apple tree, according to my 5-year old. 🙂 Growing up, we had an amazing yard that my dad took great care of. And a huge garden. I didn’t quite appreciate it back then, but looking back now, I know just how amazing it is to have fresh vegetables, especially straight out of the garden.

In my imaginary garden, I will have everything I need to go out and pull up just what I need for a salad. Because ~~some~~ most days, nothing hits the spot quite like a huge bowl, filled with fresh produce.

But what is also great is being able to top your salad with something that is simple, flavorful, and isn’t filled with all kinds of crazy ingredients. Enter the Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Salad Dressings. Easy, recognizable ingredients that you can pronounce. No preservatives or artificial ingredients to get in the way. Natural, just like those leafy greens.

Now, when I want a salad, I usually really want a salad. Something that will fill me up, but is still good for me. Enter this Protein Packed Cobb Salad Recipe. There is so much goodness going on here. Avocados, edamame, boiled eggs, bacon… And don’t forget the chicken breast that really adds some oomph to this Cobb salad recipe. I love blue cheese dressing on a Cobb salad, but since I was serving this to my kids, and since they are a little leery of “stinky cheese” I opted for the Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Ranch. We go through ranch like it’s going out of style, so I knew the whole family would love it. (And then I added blue cheese on top of my salad to curb that craving!)

I could really eat this pretty much every day and be a happy girl. In fact, when I made this to photograph it, I ate it for two meals that day!! I can see this salad being devoured in my house all summer long!
