Brunch Cobb Salad

We put a brunch-friendly spin on the classic Cobb salad by creating an Everything Bagel Vinaigrette using ingredients from our Dress for Success Basket, one of our most popular gift collections. Our recipe features a blend of Herbs de Provence Infused Olive Oil, Bianco White Balsamic, Dijon Mustard, Pepe e Aglio Seasoning, Cloister Honey, and Fleur de Sel, which add a delicious mix of sweet, tart, and savory notes that perfectly complement the everything bagel seasoning.
