Crab Chipotle Cobb Salad

Little rows of all the good salad stuff-crab, tomato, bacon, and corn-and a dressing with a “pow” make this salad a great (and filling) lunch for two. If you like your dressing a little more or less spicy, adjust the amount of adobo sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of crab so I might swap in cooked chicken. Looks like a great spring lunch!
