Instructions

Cobb salads are a weekly occurrence at my house. They are filling, fast, and can be modified to suit any preferences, plus they are a great way to use up leftovers. This version is loaded with zesty barbecue chicken, black beans, and cheddar jack cheese for a Southwestern spin on the American classic. Labor day weekend left me with a refrigerator full of leftovers, including more barbecue chicken than I knew what to do with.
