Notes

For added freshness, store the jar upright in the fridge. Make sure to layer the dressing at the bottom to prevent sogginess in the greens. This cobb salad is hearty and can be customized based on your favorite ingredients or dietary needs. Feel free to add ingredients like grilled chicken, quinoa, or swap blue cheese for feta. If you're storing for more than 3 days, consider adding delicate ingredients like avocado right before consumption to keep them fresh.
