The BEST Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad
It’s time for another salad recipe! And I am super excited about this one. This salad is similar to a traditional Cobb salad, but with a summer spin to celebrate grill season. Grilled chicken gets added to this salad, along with crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, and tangy blue cheese crumbles. Then it’s drizzled with an AMAZING homemade ranch dressing loaded with fresh herbs and so much flavor. Yum! Even better, despite calling for one grilled ingredient, this salad is a breeze to throw together and is something you can make all week long as a healthy lunch or dinner! This salad is a great way to use up any leftovers. If you have leftover grilled chicken or even just leftover rotisserie chicken, this salad comes together even quicker!
ingredients needed
Mixed Greens: A bed of mixed greens or your favorite lettuce serve as the bed of this salad. Chicken Breast: I think grilled chicken breast is the most flavorful and it is perfect when the weather is warm and you can fire up the grill! If you don’t want to grill the chicken, you can use rotisserie chicken or even baked chicken! Tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes are my go-to vegetable in the summer. You can use any kind of tomato you want, and dice them up into bite sized pieces. Cucumber: I like to use either English or seedless cucumbers. Bacon: Crispy bacon is a MUST on a traditional Cobb salad. The crispy texture and savory flavor is just so good. Prep your bacon before hand by popping it into the oven or in the air fryer until crispy! Blue Cheese: Blue cheese crumbles add a tangy, cheesy flavor. If you aren’t a fan, try it with feta or even mozzarella if you need a mild cheese. Avocado: Avocado is a salad ingredient I simply can’t skip. That creamy texture is soo good! Eggs: It wouldn’t be a Cobb salad without some hard-boiled eggs! I would recommend making one boiled egg per salad. Red Onion: Finely diced red onion adds flavor and a slight bite here! If your red onion has too much of a bite soak in cold water for 15 minutes to lessen the flavor. Homemade Ranch Dressing: My easy homemade ranch dressing is super delicious on this salad. If you are in a pinch, you can certainly use your favorite store-bought ranch! Italian dressing or a balsamic vinaigrette would also be great!
