Cobb Salad

This Cobb Salad recipe is one of my favorite salads to make.  The ingredients, as well as preparation, are simple and result in a great-tasting healthy dish. My Cobb Salad Recipe is a slight departure from the ‘original’ mostly because I omit watercress and frequently omit or substitute the Blue cheese with fat-free feta cheese. I also like to substitute ingredients with what I have available in my pantry and fridge. Added bonus: This salad is Whole30 and Paleo compliant – it really helped me survive the Whole30 program!

Cobb Salad

David

This cobb salad is a bit modified from the ‘original’ recipe – primarily the lack of watercress since I don’t enjoy the flavor so much. This recipe also does not include Roquefort cheese but it can be included if you prefer. I like to use green leaf lettuce, but you can also use iceberg, romaine, or endive.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Salad

• 8 cups green leaf lettuce chopped
• 3 hard-boiled eggs diced
• 1 cup avocado diced
• 1 cup tomatoes diced
• 1 cup cooked chicken diced
• 1/2 cup green onion(s) chopped
• 1 cup crisp bacon chopped
• 1/2 cup Roquefort or Blue cheese crumbled

Dressing

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 clove garlic minced
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together then set aside.
• Place the lettuce or greens of your choice on a large serving dish.
• Place the tomatoes in a line down the center of the salad.
• Then, place the remaining ingredients in their own lines on either side of the salad. I tend to put the chicken, bacon, and eggs on one side and veggies on the other.
• Pour a couple tablespoons of dressing over the salad and toss before serving. Add more dressing to taste.

Notes

Substitutions are encouraged! I’ve used various other ingredients in the past and all have worked great! Possibilities include roasted corn, red onions, broccoli, ham, turkey, mushrooms, etc. Substituting fat-free feta in place of the Blue cheese works well too. Make it good by making it your own!
