My Cobb salad is one of my favorite things to make when I want a lunch that feels special but is still easy to put together. It is colorful, filling, and always a hit with the whole family.

For the best results, try to chop all your ingredients into similar sizes. This makes every single bite consistent and delicious.

🧺 Ingredients

4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup red wine vinaigrette

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce on a large serving platter or in a big bowl.
2
Create rows on top of the lettuce using the chicken, eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, onion, and blue cheese.
3
Drizzle the red wine vinaigrette over the salad just before you are ready to serve it.
4
Toss everything together gently so the dressing coats all the ingredients without mashing the avocado.

💡 Tips

You can prep all the ingredients in advance and keep them in separate containers in the fridge for a quick lunch assembly. If you prefer, swap the blue cheese for feta and use your favorite creamy ranch or balsamic dressing instead.
