Everyone’s favorite cobb salad just got a spring-y makeover! This lightened-up version has lots of crunchy in-season veggies and a creamy lemon-dill dressing spiked with raw garlic. A smattering of croutons (homemade is best if you’ve got the time) add texture, and a healthy serving of eggs and avocado make this salad hearty enough to be dinner.

Cobb salads are traditionally served with all their ingredients in neat rows, but if you prefer your salads well-combined, go ahead and toss everything together in a serving bowl. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the eggs and mashing the avocado.
