CHICKEN COBB SALAD WITH AVOCADO DRESSING
This is based on Smoked Chicken Cobb Salad from the Cooking Light Best Ever Slim-Down Recipes book. To simplify it, I modified it to remove the smoking of the chicken. This is quite a tasty salad. I love all the different flavors. I used a large clove of garlic in the dressing and it had a good bite. The avocado I used was about 1 cup diced.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful ingredients. This is especially important for the avocado dressing, as the avocado is the star of the show. Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color, with no blemishes. The tomatoes and cucumbers should also be ripe and juicy.
- Make sure the bacon is crispy. This will add a nice smoky flavor to the salad. Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is evenly browned and crispy.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, and chives, will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only a small amount.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
