Instructions

Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad

  • Wash and tear or cut the lettuce into bite sized pieces, then place in a large serving bowl.
  • For a beautiful presentation before tossing the salad, arrange each item on top of the lettuce, either in pie shape or stripes, or get creative!
  • When ready to serve, drizzle with ⅔ of the vinaigrette recipe, toss and serve. Add more vinaigrette, as desired.

Simple Vinaigrette:

  • Put all ingredients into a shaker bottle or jar and shake until combined. For a little extra kick add one Tablespoon of Dijon mustard.

Notes

Gr8 Serving Idea:
Serve with some crusty French bread with good salted butter and a glass of chilled Rosé or Pinot Grigio. This is the perfect summertime meal! 
Gr8 Do Ahead Ideas:
  • Grill the chicken and cook the bacon and hard boil the eggs up to 2 days before. Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble the salad.
  • Make the dressing the day before and keep covered at room temperature.
