If you love cobb salad, this potato salad is a must try. It is full of blue cheese, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon. A mixture of Italian Vinaigrette and Blue Cheese dressing really gives the potatoes some zing.

Up until that point, she didn’t like a single salad dressing. Not one. For a salad she would eat plain lettuce.

As soon as we got home, I rushed to the store to get this wonderful salad dressing that made my beyond picky daughter want to eat salad. I didn’t find it at my regular store so I went to another.

I could not give up.
