Cobb Salad

This past Christmas by brother Stephen gave my husband Tom bacon-of-the-month club (The perfect gift for Tom) This month we had a few strips left and I decided this was the perfect salad for both Tom and me to enjoy. This version is a little "lighter" then the original by using a low-fat buttermilk dressing, less blue cheese and bacon. Although it is a bit healthier, it is still just as flavorful as any cobb salad you've ever tried.
