Rainbow Cobb Salad

This salad is so colourful and is bound to put anyone in a great mood. The even better part is that it is super filling and healthy as well!

I found a variation of this recipe on my Weight Watchers app, but I made quite a few changes. What I didn’t change was the dressing. I am not a huge cilantro fan, but in this dressing, it tastes so subtle and delicious.

Whip this up on the next rainy day and you are sure to have one rainbow worth gossiping about!
