Harvest Cobb Salad aka AMAZINGNESS!

Made this on Sunday for our family dinner and everyone LOVED it! My dad said that CPK ain't got nothing on me and this salad! Boom! I found this recipe on http://damndelicious.net/2014/09/22/harvest-cobb-salad/


Also I doubled the recipe because I wasn't sure how much it would make we had 6 people and still had quite a bit leftover. 

~Ingredients ~

4 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
2 large hard boiled eggs
6 cups romain lettuce
1 apple diced
1 pear diced
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/3 cup dried cranberries 
1/3 cup goat cheese (I think next time I'm going to do feta because goat cheese is pricey $$$)

Poppy Seed Dressing:
1/3 cup mayonnaise ( I would like to try and substitute plain greek yogurt next time)
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tbsp. poppyseeds

Mix it all up and enjoy! I would personally not put the dressing on the entire salad just let people do their own and that way the salad keeps longer for leftovers.

Frog Eye Salad

Just beware this makes a ton!!! But... you can keep it good in the refrigerator for a few days. I actually eat it for breakfast the day after :)

1 cup sugar                                          1Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. flour                                        3 quarts water
2 1/2 tsp salt                                        1 Tbsp. cooking oil
1 3/4 cup pineapple juice                      1 (16 oz) box acini de pepe
2 eggs (beaten)

Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a sauce pan. Stir in pineapple juice and eggs. Cook over medium heat until thick. Cool and add lemon juice. In large pot boil acini de pepe and oil until noodles are more soft than firm. Rinse and cool to room temperature. Mix lemon sauce and acini de pepe. Cover and store in fridge overnight.
Prior to serving add 3 large cans mandarine oranges (drained) 2 large cans chunked pineapple (drained) 1 can crushed pineaple (drained) and 1 carton coolwhip. Mix and enjoy! ( you can add maraschino cherries to it if you like them but I hate them!)
