Cobb Salad

missravenskitchen

This protein-packed salad is a meal loaded with crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, chicken, bacon, boiled eggs, creamy avocado, and crumbled blue cheese. You must use a homemade dressing for the perfect cobb salad, just like the vinaigrette I used! Each bite delivers a variety of flavors, from savory bacon to tangy blue cheese to creamy egg! This salad is a meal within itself.

Ingredients

1 head romaine lettuce washed thoroughly, chopped
5 oz cherry tomatoes halved
1-2 chicken breasts about 12 oz, cooked, diced
1 avocado diced
5 oz crumbled blue cheese
4 hard-boiled eggs peeled, quartered
6 slices thick-cut bacon cooked, chopped
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions

In a jar, shake together vinegar, mustard, and oil and season with salt and pepper.
On a platter or large mixing bowl, spread out the lettuce evenly. Add rows of hard-boiled egg, chicken, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, and cherry tomatoes.
Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with dressing.

Notes

Storage: Keep in a bowl with a lid or plastic wrap over the top.

If you're eating this the next day: Do not assemble the salad. Keep the dressing on the side. Assemble it when you're ready to eat it.

I would not recommend storing a salad that has the dressing on it. You can if you don't mind the wilting, but it won't be as crisp and fresh the next day.

What to serve with Cobb Salad: Cobb salad is the main meal loaded with vegetables, protein, and even fruit when you consider the tomato. To complement its flavors and round out dinner, serve it with a light soup or simply pair it with a loaf of crusty bread and a vibrant, summery beverage.
