This Cobb Salad is a hearty, colorful meal featuring crisp lettuce, juicy chicken, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, hard-boiled eggs, ripe tomatoes, blue cheese, and a tangy homemade vinaigrette. It’s a fresh, protein-packed salad that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  2. Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce and mixed greens on a large serving platter or in a salad bowl.
  3. Top the greens with neat rows of diced chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled blue cheese.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped fresh chives over the salad.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving or serve it on the side.
  6. Toss gently if desired, or leave the ingredients arranged in rows for a classic Cobb Salad presentation.

Notes

  • Substitute grilled shrimp, turkey, or rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken.
  • Replace the blue cheese with feta, goat cheese, or cheddar if preferred.
  • Add cucumbers, roasted corn, or sliced red onion for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the salad components and dressing separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add the avocado and dressing just before serving.
  • Serve with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or balsamic vinaigrette for a different flavor variation.
