Easy Cobb Salad with Tuna
Description
The salad starts with draining and dicing canned tuna and hard-boiled eggs prepared by boiling eggs for 10–12 minutes until firm. Fresh vegetables including English cucumber, tomatoes, romaine lettuce leaves, and green onions are rinsed and diced evenly to provide a variety of textures and bright flavors.
The salad is assembled by layering lettuce at the base of a serving bowl, then arranging diced vegetables, eggs, fresh herbs, and tuna on top. A half cup of ranch dressing is tossed with the salad just before serving, seasoning it with salt and black pepper to taste.
This Cobb salad serves as a satisfying lunch or light dinner, combining protein, fresh vegetables, and creamy dressing. It can be served immediately to maintain the crispness of the ingredients.
