Harvest Cobb Salad - The perfect fall salad with the creamiest poppy seed salad dressing. So good, you'll want to make this all year long!

After the AC debacle last week, the weather is finally cooling down here in LA, and it’s really beginning to feel like fall, my favorite season of all. From the crisp autumn breeze to the pumpkin spice lattes to the hot dog Halloween costume, what’s not to love?

And to add to this list is this glorious autumn harvest cobb salad, a recipe I developed as a Fisher Fresh Thinker, which just means that I’ll be bringing you plenty of fun recipes using preservative-free Fisher Nuts, just in time for the holidays.

Best of all, Fisher Nuts is hosting a recipe contest using their pecans, walnuts, or almonds for a chance to win a trip to 2 to NYC to meet celebrity chef Alex Guaraschelli! More details below.

So while you think about that winning recipe to get you to New York City, this cobb salad should tide you over.

From the crisp bacon to the fall apples and pears along with the crunchy pecans drizzled in an oh-so-creamy poppy seed dressing, you’ll want to make this salad all year long!
