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.
