Recipe- Fabulous Chicken Cobb Salad With Avocado Blue Cheese

Like promised, here’s a fabulous chicken cobb salad that has all the right fixings including grilled chicken and lots of bacon! Serve this with a creamy avocado blue cheese dressing that’s made with greek yogurt and you have dinner sorted. This isn’t just a salad, it’s a meal!

I had first cobb salad at Hard Rock Cafe when I didn’t even know what a cobb salad was. It was as American as it could get! Though now I’m thinking – who orders a salad at Hard Rock?

It came on a huge platter with all the salad fixings arranged in layer. It was super pretty and super good! I didn’t share.

And now we make this hearty salad aka dinner every couple of weeks. Because there is something so so good about lettuce, chicken, bacon, corn, avocados and eggs when they are together. Especially when they are drizzled with a super creamy and sharp avocado blue cheese dressing.

The dressing for this chicken cobb salad is made lighter and low calories by substituting the mayonnaise for greek yogurt and avocados. This means that you can drown your salad in dressing! The main ingredients in the dressing are avocado, greek yogurt, olive oil, jalapeno, blue cheese and garlic. The dressing is balanced which means that it isn’t super sharp and funky but it has enough blue cheese flavour to satsify.
