    Greek Cobb Salad--Family Style. Perfect for picky eaters! Choose what you like, leave what you don't.

    F-r-e-s-h! That's what I'm craving and that's exactly what this Greek Cobb Salad delivers. I know, I know. It's not a true Cobb Salad with bacon and eggs, but I've discovered that providing food "options" is the best way to feed a family, especially one with dietary restrictions or preferences, or simply to keep those picky eaters happy. Serving a Greek Salad in Cobb Salad style works for me.

    Cobb Salad solves picky-eater problems!

    Does your family have a picky eater? or more than one? Some people are more sensitive to different textures than others. Some don't like different foods touching each other on their plate. And still others like to eat their food in order:  all the meat, then all the rice, then all the vegetables, and so on. "That way they end up in layers in my stomach," is how it was once explained to me, jokingly, of course . . . I think.

    This Mediterranean Cobb Salad satisfies all. Family members can choose what they'd like and politely leave what they don't care for on the serving platter.

    Line them up!

    Note how I've lined up the choices on this platter. The olives (which some people despise) are at the edge so they don't "infect" the other food. So is the feta, easily avoided by those with a dairy intolerance. The chicken is w-a-a-y on the other side, again at the edge, out of respect for the vegetarians. Likewise, the red onions, that some people find a little too strong, are lined up near the outer edge. Everyone happy? Good.

    Let's eat.

    Greek Cobb Salad--Family Style.

    This Greek Cobb Salad makes an easy dinner

    Other than a bit of chopping, this is an easy dinner salad to prepare. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients, use one-third to marinate the chicken chunks and save the rest as a dressing for the salad. Then, grill the chicken while you chop the vegetables, mound chopped romaine on a large platter, and line up the other ingredients on top. Add the chicken just before serving, or make the whole salad ahead of time and serve it with cold chicken.

    This Mediterranean Cobb Salad is also delicious served with Authentic Greek Tzatziki Sauce.
    Greek Cobb Salad--Family Style. Perfect for picky eaters! Choose what you like, leave what you don't.
    A few days ago, I received an email from a friend that struck a chord with me. We had been chatting about cooking and kids and families. She so eloquently wrote,"So much of what we do as women to make a family thrive doesn't often get spoken to ... yet, so much of what we do is done out of love and with love, the way we problem solve, or create new adventures, or work to make a family work . . . "

    So, show some love to those picky eaters of yours, show respect to those who eat differently from you, take time to sit together, and enjoy this Greek Cobb Salad as a family meal. And if you're looking for similar ideas for a family dinner, try this Skinny Chopped Chicken Taco Salad too!
