A southern spin on the traditional California Cobb, this salad makes a perfect summer meal. I serve it with fresh bread for last minute dinner parties.

Instructions

FIRST To make dressing, whisk yogurt, buttermilk, shallot, vinegar, and chives together. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

NEXT Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill salmon for 4 minutes on each side or until slightly pink in center.

LAST Arrange greens on a large serving platter and top with corn, salmon, peaches, avocado, and blue cheese chunks. Serve to table with buttermilk dressing.
