Classic Cobb Salad
The Classic Cobb Salad layers chopped romaine, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, and blue cheese into a hearty, protein-packed meal. A tangy vinaigrette or creamy dressing brings the rows of toppings together. It works equally well as a filling lunch or a no-cook dinner.

Notes
Jen’s Tips
- To enhance the flavor, consider grilling the chicken for a smoky taste.
- For a healthier twist, turkey bacon can be used as a substitute.
- If Roquefort is too strong for your palate, crumbled blue cheese is a suitable alternative.
