Summer Deli Cobb Salad:

Corn kernels, fresh off the cob or frozen - 1 1/2 cups

Lettuce, romaine - 8 oz, chopped

Directions

Make hardboiled eggs - Cover eggs with cold water and some salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then turn off heat. Let eggs sit in hot water for 11 minutes and then run in cold water for easier peeling. Roll egg against a hard, flat surface to break up shell, and then peel. If making ahead of time, peel right before serving. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

Make creamy herb dressing - (Skip if dressing was made ahead on Tuesday.) Peel garlic. Combine garlic, yogurt, oil, lemon juice and cilantro leaves and blend until smooth using an immersion blender or food processor. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)

Deli meat / Tomatoes / Corn (if using fresh) / Romaine - Prep as directed. Tomatoes and corn can be stored together. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

Corn (if using frozen) - Defrost corn in the microwave.

Cube avocados and chop eggs.

Form a bed of lettuce and layer all other ingredients on top - deli meat, tomatoes, corn, avocados and eggs.

Serve salad with dressing on the side so everyone can dress their own. Enjoy!
