    This Cobb Salad includes the traditional ingredients of grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, bacon, and more!  The grilled chicken adds a touch of summer

    There are several reasons to love this salad: can be made ahead of time, assembles in minutes, and is a complete healthy meal!  It’s easy to swap out ingredients per your preference. 

    And it’s grain, gluten, and dairy-free!

    I love this crunchy, hearty salad and could eat this every day in the summer.  And it’s great to vary some of the ingredients to your preference.

    Ingredients: 

    • grilled chicken breast
    • cherry tomatoes
    • avocado
    • red onion
    • bacon
    • hard-boiled eggs.
    • dressing  

    How to make the grilled chicken:

    • To grill the chicken, rub the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with some olive oil and salt and pepper and grill until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. 
    • Let cool and slice and cut into cubes.

    How to make chicken cobb salad:

    • Gather and measure the ingredients. 
    • There is some prep work with this recipe and it’s best to have all the ingredients pre-made so it’s just a matter of assembly when you are ready to serve.
    • Grill the chicken, make the hard-boiled eggs, cook the bacon, chop the vegetables.
    • Slice and chop the chicken, slice the hard-boiled eggs, chop the bacon, chop the onion and cucumber, and slice the avocado.

      This looks so appetising. We are having a visitor tomorrow at 4:30 and will be staying for 1 – 1 1/2 hours. I was not sure whether to invite him to stay and have something to eat with us as we were having salad. This has made up my mind! I love the way everything is set out on the plate. Thank you.
