Cobb Salad
Cobb Salad – a salad fully loaded with romaine lettuce, chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, onion and blue cheese. Then it’s all finished with a refreshing vinaigrette. It’s the super hearty “salad for dinner” kind of salad. A salad that everyone will enjoy.
Loaded to the max with bite size tender rotisserie chicken pieces, super flavorful crispy bacon, vibrantly tasty red onion, rich eggs, creamy avocado, bold blue cheese, and lightly sweet tomatoes. It’s a king of salads and easily worth the extra bit of prep! This is also customizable with options to switch out the toppings or use a different type of dressing. Try different variations. Replace a few handfuls of romaine lettuce with watercress. Opt for a tablespoon or two of minced chives in place of red onion. Use cheddar cheese in place of blue cheese. Roquefort or feta are other good options. Hard boil eggs in water instead of steaming if you prefer that method. Add nuts (pecans, walnuts or slivered almonds) or sunflower seeds for a light crunch. Finish with croutons.
