This time of year, I’m always looking for refreshing recipes to keep the kitchen cool. Pasta Cobb Salad does just that. It also is great to take it to summer cookouts, tailgates, and BBQs. Cobb Salad is one my favorite meals. If I spot it on a restaurant menu, I have a hard time passing it up. Starring chicken, avocado, bacon, blue cheese, lettuce, tomato, and hard-boiled eggs, this main dish salad makes me happy. Pasta Cobb Salad is a delightful twist on the classic Cobb salad. Incorporating pasta into the salad give you an extra dose of hearty comfort and satisfaction. It’s the perfect meal as the weather warms up and it only takes 30 minutes to make.

Shrimp & Asparagus Salad With Oranges
When you need a lighter, healthy meal, an entree salad can hit the spot and make you smile. My shrimp and aspargus salad with oranges is a perfect example. It’s a delightful spring salad with fresh greens, orange segments, asparagus, shrimp, and a lovely citrus vinaigrette. It’s fast and so tasty. In 20 minutes, you can be sitting with your family and friends and enjoying the flavor. You can serve a small version of this salad as a first course, but I love it as an entree. I’m using quick broiled shrimp, but you can also use any cooked shrimp like grilled, boiled, or sauteed.
