Cobb Salad is a classic and this version with avocado and salmon rather than bacon is fantastic! There is a perfect balance of flavors: salty and umami blue cheese, sweet grilled green onions and salmon, creamy avocado, and tart tomato.
This is the perfect recipe to improve your Mediterranean diet score – seafood, cheese, veggies, great quality oil and fruit (those tomatoes are fruits after all). The mustard vinaigrette makes the perfect complement with a great sweet-sharp flavor.
