WINTER COBB SALAD

Winter Cobb Salad image

Savory tamari-laced tofu and crispy shiitake mushrooms take the place of chicken and bacon in this vegetarian spin on a classic cobb salad. Kale is used as the green home base, and in addition to the plant-based proteins mentioned, it gets topped off with the usual suspects of creamy avocado, cherry tomatoes, hard-cooked eggs, and blue cheese.
