A delicious and dinner-worthy grilled chicken Cobb salad loaded with avocado, tomato, carrot, bacon, and a silky balsamic Dijon dressing. Filling and healthy!
I’m all about simple, fresh, flavorful meals, and so excited to share one of our favorite salads with you today. A chicken Cobb salad is a delicious classic that’s easily lightened up to suit a healthy lifestyle.
This always hits the spot for lunch or dinner, especially when you’re craving some greens and lean protein. We eat it in a steady rotation with grilled chicken gyro salads and spinach salads with bacon and eggs.
You’ll love that this Cobb salad is easy to make yet completely wholesome. No processed ingredients or suspicious additives — just a vibrant mix of crisp veggies, juicy chicken, and a rich balsamic dressing.
