Cobb Salad

Cobb salad makes for an incredibly filling, classic staple. While some recipes call for a fancy vinaigrette, I like to keep it simple with my favorite - the juice of one lemon, a few 'glugs' of olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
We’re excited to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday – go Broncos! I’m making some of the family game-day favorites, but I think I’ll throw a hearty salad into the mix, too. Cobb salad makes for an incredibly filling, classic staple. While some recipes call for a fancy vinaigrette, I like to keep it simple with my favorite – the juice of one lemon, a few “glugs” of olive oil, Celtic sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you aren’t a fan of blue cheese, throw in some diced cheddar. Like a bit more crunch in your salad? Add some dehydrated sunflower seeds. No matter how you like your salad, I hope you enjoy the game.

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 5 ounces mixed baby greens
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half pole-to-pole
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 6 pieces bacon, cooked until crispy, then crumbled
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 4 ounces blue cheese (you can substitute with your favorite cheese) (omit for Paleo and dairy free)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then skim away the foam that rises to the top. Continue to cook for about 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from pot and cut into cubes. Cool.
  2. Spread lettuce in an even layer on a large plate. Arrange tomatoes, avocados, bacon, eggs, cheese and chicken in separate rows on lettuce. Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small measuring cup. Add additional salt to taste. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and serve.

    LOVE Cobb Salad. Wish I was closer so we could share one. :) We're making Turkey Sliders for Super Bowl Sunday, and I'm super tempted to make your loaded potatoes skins to go with them ... Okay, you've convinced me. They are going to have to go on the menu! And this Cobb Salad - this is going to be my next fellowship dinner surprise! Thanks, Carrie! You always have such beautiful wholesome recipes to share!! :)
