Cobb Salad with Avocado Dressing

Ingredients

• 6 cups chopped romaine
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 eggs, hard-boiled and sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 avocado (half diced for salad, half for dressing)
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp water

Method

1. 1

   Hard-boil the eggs: cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let sit covered 10-11 minutes before transferring to an ice bath.

2. 2

   Blend half the avocado with lime juice, olive oil, and water until smooth and pourable for the dressing.

3. 3

   Spread the chopped romaine as the base on a large platter.

4. 4

   Arrange chicken, bacon, sliced eggs, tomatoes, and diced avocado in distinct rows across the top — this classic arrangement, rather than tossing everything together, is what makes it a Cobb salad and keeps every bite balanced.

5. 5

   Drizzle with avocado dressing before serving.
