Chicken Cobb Salad
Description
The Chicken Cobb Salad features cooked chicken breasts sliced and paired with crisp bacon, eggs, fresh salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Haas avocado, and crumbled blue cheese. The dressing, an emulsion of olive oil, red wine vinegar, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, is whisked until combined, adding a sharp and aromatic note to the layered salad.
Ingredients are arranged over salad greens in an orderly fashion, allowing each component's texture and flavor to stand out. This layered presentation makes it easy to serve and eat the salad.
Preparation can be made easier by cooking the bacon, chicken, and eggs the day before and refrigerating them, as they are served cold. Avoid assembling the salad too early to prevent greens from wilting and avocados from browning. Store precooked components in airtight containers for up to three days.
Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise made with avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or ⅛ teaspoon of any other salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Salad:
- 2 egg large, sliced, hard-boiled
- 4 trips Bacon crispy, chopped, cooked
- 2 chicken breast medium-size, sliced (6 oz each, baked
- 2 cups salad greens
- ½ cup cherry tomato halved
- 1 avocado sliced; use Haas variety
- 2 oz blue cheese crumbled
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients until they emulsify into a rich salad dressing.
- Arrange the salad greens on a large serving platter.
- Assemble the salad toppings on top of the greens. I usually add them in the following order: chicken, tomatoes, avocado, eggs, bacon, and blue cheese.
- Drizzle the dressing on top of the salad and serve.
Notes
- Cook bacon, chicken breast, and hard-boiled eggs ahead of time and refrigerate; assembling the next day streamlines preparation.
- Keep salad greens and avocado separate until just before serving to prevent sogginess and browning.
- Store precooked ingredients in airtight containers for up to three days.
