Cobb Salad

This salad was so good.  I saw it over at Chaos in the Kitchen and wanted to make it ASAP.  We just discovered a good source of tender, organic, fresh spinach here on the our island.  We go to an organic farm to get it.  We had been there before, but never realized they had spinach.  I can get fresh spinach again- yay!  Actually, the original salad uses romaine, which would be delish as well, but I happened to have this fresh spinach on hand. 

I did some prep work a few hours before dinner- boiled eggs, cooked bacon (in the microwave), and cooked some chicken tenders in a skillet.  Then I only had to chop some things while assembling the salads.  We had lemonade and fresh watermelon with this- so good!  My kids didn't eat this as a salad- but ate the different ingredients separately (in their cool little divided trays).  The feta cheese was especially popular with them.
