This California Goddess Cobb Salad is next-level delicious and loaded with Golden State goodness, including leafy greens, asparagus, avocados, blue cheese, bacon and tomatoes. It also has a creamy California Goddess Dressing full of fresh herbs too.

I’ll eat anything with the name “goddess” in it.

It just makes me feel special and like the universe knows what to feed me… Totally joking! Although, sometimes it’s nice to dream.   

This salad is like an edible piece of art with it’s symmetrically arranged veggies and protein. A masterpiece to behold!

But don’t let that scare you off because it’s not all that difficult to assemble. No Van Gogh skills needed here!

Just a few preparations before hand, like quick-grilling the asparagus and frying up the bacon. But, it’s totally worth it! I served mine family-style and in larger portions, but feel free to turn this into a chop style salad if that’s what suits your fancy. It all tastes the same!

I made my own California Goddess Dressing because it’s easy and tastes SO fresh… trust me, it’s worth the extra five minutes.

Let’s Make California Goddess Dressing:

Add all the ingredients in a bowl and vigorously whisk until combined. I used a food processor for mine, but either method works great. You can make this a day ahead of time to allow the flavors to deepen.

Yum! This California Goddess is the best!

Now let’s build the salad:

Start with a fresh base of field greens on a large platter. I bought mine at my local Farmer’s Market over the weekend!

Next, I added a generous portion of crispy bacon and grilled asparagus.  

Next came the sliced avocado and chunky chopped radish; don’t you love the purple variety?

Finally, a layer of hot-house tomatoes and hard-boiled egg wedges are added to the top. I deliberately left a portion of the salad greens exposed for a convenient starting point once you start serving this salad to your guests.

To top it all off, I added a generous sprinkling of fresh blue cheese.  

Total YumFest!

Seriously, I can’t even take the beauty.  

Now all you have to do is serve it and drizzle some goddess dressing over the top!  

I think it’s the perfect salad to serve to all the goddess mamas this weekend for Mother’s Day.
