An absolute staple for me when I want to keep carbs low, but enjoy JUST enough good, hormone-healthy fats. Also a great one to double or triple when you're entertaining. Line everything up on a large platter to wow your guests!

Notes
This makes about 490 grams of salad. That's big but I eat the whole thing with some added protein for a meal. Feel free to double it for the family to use as a side and log your portion in grams off of My Fitness Pal. I've pre-loaded it by grams to provide that option! But the macros below are for this entire bowl if you don't want to bother weighing your final portion.
To log this exact salad in My Fitness Pal, search "Lillie Eats and Tells Cobb Salad with Creamy Lemon Basil Dressing". If you eat one recipe you can log the whole 490 g serving. But you can also double or triple it for a crowd and log whatever portion of it you take. You can also search and log the dressing for when you want to add more or use it later.
