COBB SALAD WITH BROWN DERBY DRESSING

Cobb Salad with Brown Derby Dressing image

I was served this salad on my honeymoon. The ingredients are all minced very fine, then they are tossed with the dressing at the last minute. I love it. It's perfect as a light lunch or dinner all by itself on a very hot summer day.
