Bev says:

Shouldn’t this have chicken in it?(Cobb salad)
Thanks
Cyd says:

You can easily add chicken to this salad as one of the layers.
Lindsay says:

For something so simple, it’s a big party hit!
Joy says:

It is beautiful! I am just confused how to serve it if the bowl is filled to the brim as it is in the picture, and it is layered. Do you stir it (difficult in that full bowl) or reach through the layers? Help!
Bobbi @ Six Sisters says:

You can serve it either way! We like to serve it layered and people just scoop down into the layers
