Ingredients
Cobb salad
- 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- ¾ pound cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 hard boiled eggs, quartered or roughly chopped
- 6 slices bacon, diced and cooked
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- ½ cup blue cheese, crumbled
- ⅓ cup red onion, sliced
Balsamic dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- *Skip this step if your ingredients are already cooked.* In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crisp and fully cooked. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate. In the same skillet, sear each side of the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes, or until golden. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Allow chicken to cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 165F/75C. Remove chicken from heat. Once cooled, slice or dice the chicken. In a small saucepan, add enough water to cover eggs by 1”. Bring water to a boil. Carefully lower your eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon or skimmer. Set a timer for 14 minutes. When the timer is up, use a slotted spoon or skimmer to transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs have cooled completely, crack the shells, peel, and quarter the eggs.
- Combine all the Cobb salad ingredients onto a large plate or bowl - romaine lettuce, chicken breast, grape tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, and red onion. You can either lay the lettuce down first and then arrange each topping in rows or sections OR toss all ingredients together until well combined.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine all the ingredients for the balsamic dressing - olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix vigorously with a small fork or whisk. Or seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until fully combined.
- Add dressing just before serving. Enjoy!
