It’s really feeling like summer lately – flags on porches, sunshine until nine at night, lots of rose wine pouring and an interest in never turning on the stove. Last night, I made a layered cobb salad for an easy weeknight meal with a friend – and lots of lunch leftovers. This salad can be made with all store bought ingredients – rotisserie chicken, precooked eggs and precooked bacon. Or you can take the time to cook each ingredient – it takes little to no time but requires a little heat in the kitchen.
This salad is perfect for a casual party (serve with a good crusty bread) or a picnic in the park. Get chopping!
Layered Cobb Salad:
- 2 split chicken breasts (roasted in the oven at 400 for about 30ish minutes – or buy a rotisserie bird!)
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 1 head romaine, chopped
- 5 bacon slices, cooked until crisp and finely chopped
- a handful of grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- a handful or two of greens (baby kale, watercress, arugula)
- 4 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
- 3 or 4 scallions, chopped
- 1/2 English cucumber sliced
Layer the salad in a large bowl (I love the glass to show the layers). Romaine lettuce, chicken, bacon, tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions, avocado, greens, egg and cheese! Dress with your favorite dressing.
Just loved your idea!!
