Brunch Cobb Salad

We put a brunch-friendly spin on the classic Cobb salad by creating an Everything Bagel Vinaigrette using ingredients from our Vinaigrettes Basket, one of our most popular gift collections. Our recipe features a blend of Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil, Sicilian Lemon 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.
