Feeding the kids: Family-friendly cobb salad

In my ongoing quest to find tasty, kid-friendly meals for you that are healthy and appropriate for the whole family, this week I chose a healthy, kid-friendly version of a traditional Cobb salad. I found the recipe in "Parents Magazine Quick and Easy Kid-Friendly Meals: 125 Recipes Your Whole Family Will Love" (Wiley Paperback; $19.99).

-1 tablespoon honey mustard salad dressing

1. Place lettuce on a serving platter.

2. Line each of the remaining ingredients diagonally on top of the lettuce, starting with turkey in the center.

3. Serve with the dressing on the side.
