California Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad+Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
Hey, hey, guess what??? I made yummy, yummy salad today!
It seems like I always forget how incredibly colorful, fun, and delicious salads are until I make them. Do you have foods like that too? The truth is that I haven’t been making them nearly often enough recently (try almost never). I don’t know, I guess it’s because it’s turning into Fall and the cold weather doesn’t exactly make you crave piles of fresh fruits and veggies but that’s still no excuse for ignoring them like I have been.
I decided a few days ago that I really needed to stop being such a loser and start making more salads and you know what, it’s insane how many ideas you can come up with to add to one. I’d say it’s probably the broadest food category there is and, with my indecisiveness, this isn’t always a good thing because I end up wanting to throw anything and everything into one bowl.
I did my best to focus my enthusiasm and not give you a salad with 447 ingredients here but I did discover a new topping to add. Did you know that something magical happens when you fry bacon and toast nuts in the same pan! Also, would it make me sound like a serial killer if I ran around shouting that I love to roast things? Probably yes, but it’s true. The roasted red pepper hummus is everything!
All right, this salad is pretty simple you guys and definitely worth making. If you are wanting to get it done even faster you could skip making the hummus and use your favorite brand or just add a totally different dressing like ranch or vinaigrette. Honestly, the hummus was not initially going to be a part of this salad because I had made it to go with another recipe that I’m sharing soon (something fried!)……..but um, I didn’t get any pictures before my photos subjects for that recipe all got devoured, oooops. I had plenty of extra hummus left though.
So there I was making salads and trying to choose what to add and there’s a huge thing of lonely hummus in my fridge begging for the job. Besides, I really love hummus on salads for a few different reasons. Mostly because it adds extra fiber and protein along with being a killer salad dressing, but also because it’s just so thick and creamy! This particular hummus with the roasted pepper is probably my new favorite too. So good!
Ok, so there really isn’t much else that I need to say about this salad because that’s one of the best things about them to begin with, simplicity. Yeah, I think that’s it so go make some salad!
As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
