Food & Cooking Recipes Salad Recipes Winter Cobb Salad Close Credit: Con Poulos Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 35 mins Servings: 4 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. Directions Cover eggs with water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Peel and slice in half. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly add oil, whisking until combined. Season to taste. Season kale with salt and pepper; toss with half of dressing until evenly coated. Transfer to a platter and top with eggs, avocado, tomatoes, shiitakes, and tofu. Season to taste. Sprinkle with cheese, drizzle with remaining dressing, and serve immediately.
