Ingredients

Chicken Cobb Salad

  • 5 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 3 hard boiled eggs peeled, sliced or quartered
  • 2 grilled chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 6 slices bacon cooked, chopped
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

Cobb Salad Dressing

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black

Instructions

  • Assemble salad ingredients in a large bowl. You can top the lettuce with other ingredients displayed on top, or toss to combine. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and garlic until well combined. 
  • Pour dressing over salad, or serve dressing on the side

Notes

    • This is a great salad to prep ahead of time. Just chop the ingredients and store until ready to serve.
    • Leave off the chicken or substitute another protein if you prefer.
    • Add some toasted nuts or other crunchy toppings for more texture.
    • If the blue cheese is too strong for you, feel free to substitute another. Feta is a great choice!
    • Cook your bacon and eggs ahead of time so when you are ready to eat just assemble and enjoy!
    • I cooked the bacon in the microwave and drained on paper towels for less mess.
    • Grill your chicken that day or use pre cooked chicken. I enjoy this with a rotisserie chicken from the deli!
