- ½ tbsp fresh parsley
- ½ tbsp fresh chives

Cobb Salad
- 8 cups chopped romaine about two medium heads of romaine.
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 1 sliced avocado
- ½ cup chopped tomatoes
- ½ cup chopped bacon *cooked
- 4 tbsp crumbled feta or blue cheese
Start with cooking your bacon (if using) I bake mine in the oven on a cookies sheet on foil on 350º for 20 - 30 minutes or however you prefer to cook bacon will work. Next, season the salmon with the salt, pepper, paprika and oregano. Start to cook your salmon (if using). I cook mine in the air fryer on 390º for 9 minutes.
While these items are cooking, boil your eggs. Fill a pot with enough water to just cover the eggs, place on high heat on the stove and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 8 - 10 minutes. Empty hot water, fill with a small amount of cold water, add ice and let the eggs cool in an ice bath before peeling. You can also do this step the day before to cut back on time.
Tahini Ranch Dressing
In a medium sized bowl, add tahini, water, lemon, honey. Finely chop the chives, cilantro, parsley and dill. Mince the garlic. Add this to the tahini and use an immersion blender or high -speed blender to mix the dressing. This will help blend the herbs up well and let the flavors combine. **Add 1 tbsp of water to the dressing at a time if you need to thin it out a bit. Chop up the cooked bacon, romaine, eggs, feta and tomatoes. Assemble in a large bowl.
Pour 1/2 of the dressing in and mix well. If you'd like more dressing, add more! Add the salmon to the top if using. Serve immediately.
*about two medium sized romaines.
*use maple syrup to make this vegan
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you are meal prepping this, keep the dressing off until you are ready to enjoy. Add a little water to thin out the dressing if storing in the fridge, it can thicken up when it sits.
