Perfect as a light lunch or a refreshing dinner option during warmer months.

Ingredients

Salad Base

  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)

Vegetables & Toppings

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

Proteins

  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Cheese

  • 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette or dressing of your choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salad Base: Begin by arranging the 4 cups of mixed salad greens evenly on a large serving platter or in a large bowl. This will serve as the foundation for your Spring Cobb Salad.
  2. Layer the Vegetables: Evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion over the bed of greens to add freshness and color.
  3. Add the Proteins: Sprinkle the diced cooked chicken breast, crumbled bacon, and chopped hard-boiled eggs on top of the layered vegetables to provide hearty flavor and texture.
  4. Top with Avocado and Cheese: Carefully place the sliced avocado and crumbled blue cheese over the salad, adding creamy richness and slight tang.
  5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle 1/4 cup of balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Alternatively, serve the dressing on the side so guests can add as desired.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and bacon and add extra vegetables or plant-based protein.
  • Use freshly cooked bacon for the best texture and flavor.
  • Hard-boil eggs a day ahead to save preparation time.
  • Feel free to substitute blue cheese with feta or goat cheese based on your preference.
  • To keep the avocado from browning, toss slices in lemon juice if preparing ahead of time.
