Sometimes you just feel like mixing and matching ideas, just to see what will work or not. While trying to stay with the more healthy eating idea, I came up with the Cobb Salad Sandwich. It made sense to me. I enjoy a Cobb salad, as long as I can choose my own dressing (no Bleu Cheese, thank you). The flavors of this sandwich meld well together, making each bite like a circus of fun. I also thought that since Cobb salads sometime have croutons, why not throw it on a good sourdough bread. My wife and I had fun eating this, and we are now looking for other crazy salad ideas that might make equally good sandwiches. Any ideas? Also, in the picture below, you will see my attempt at deep-fried avocado. Let’s just say that is still a work in progress. . . .
