Great Salads: Cobb Salad Recipe

Cobb Salad Recipe

2 cups boneless chicken breast, marinated, cooked and diced
1/2 pound bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled
2 hard boiled eggs, peeled
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 head butterhead lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

How To Make a Cobb Salad

Note: The following steps can all be done earlier in the day, saving you time in the kitchen!

Marinate the chicken (see above) for at least 60 minutes. Saute or grill until cooked through. Let cool and cut into chunks. (Use leftover chicken from whatever you cooked the night before!)

Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool. Not too small though!

Hard boil the eggs, cool, peel and dice. Or, separate the yolks from the whites and dice separately.


Assembling the Cobb Salad

Toss the two lettuces together with the fresh dill and place evenly in the bottom of a nice serving dish. I use a two quart baking dish and it's just the right size for my salad.

Arrange the ingredients (see the creative steps above) on top of the lettuce mix in your own wild and crazy pattern!

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.

Refrigerate, covered until ready to serve.

Serves 4-6.
