Cobb Salad (Easter Dinner or anytime)

I have found that bright colors and how it is presented adds to my enjoyment of eating vegetables. My husband has his Dads gift of making food look really nice. He has passed that on to my daughters. My husband made this for our early Easter dinner with our family yesterday. It was a big hit. It tasted delish. I can't wait till he has more time to cook with me. He is an amazing chef. 
This could make a great addition to your Easter meal. I love this time of new birth and the world coming alive with color. :)
