Spring Cobb Salad

We all know that I love a big salad, and this is about as big as it gets. I drew inspiration from a classic Cobb, but reimagined with spring vegetables and substituting salmon for the usual chicken. Some things must remain the same though, like blue cheese and bacon — those aren't going anywhere.

A great salad but way too much vinegar/acid in the dressing. Back off the vinegar <br />
