Summer Chipotle Chicken Cobb Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette

This juicy salad tastes like summer! With chipotle chicken, sweet corn, avocado, cilantro vinaigrette, bacon crumbles, and fresh strawberries for a pop of sweetness. I kinda can’t believe it since here in Minnesota we were all “April Blizzard” a minute ago, but you guys, it’s totally here. And I totally had it for dinner last night.

Here’s what it tasted like:

juicy strawberries

crisp salty bacon

sweet green lettuce

bursts of sweet corn

creamy avocado chunks

and smoky chipotle grilled chicken! REPEAT: GRILLED!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt (I added this – not in original recipe)

3–4 chicken breasts or thighs

For the Summer Cobb Salad:

3–4 cups greens (see notes)

4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

8–10 strawberries, quartered

2 ears corn on the cob, kernels removed

1–2 ripe avocados, sliced

cilantro vinaigrette! so yummy.
