When ordering a cobb salad in a restaurant, you would think that because you are choosing a "salad," you are making a wise choice. However, because they are loaded with bacon, high fat cheese and globs of dressing, they can have over 600 calories and 40 grams of fat. This version cuts the fat and calories, but does not cut the flavor.

This recipe is diabetes friendly.
