Unlike traditional Cobb salads that contain bacon and chicken, this version is completely meat-free and just as flavorful and satisfying. You’ll love the fresh corn cut right off the cob, the creamy and pungent blue cheese and the zesty French-style vinaigrette. This salad is a meal in itself or pair it with a piece of fish or veggie patty for a heartier meal.

Once corn is cool, use a knife to cut corn off the cob.
