I love a main course salad and a Chicken Cobb Salad is one of my all time favorites! As we’re moving into longer sunny days, I begin to crave BIG salads. A Chicken Cobb Salad is packed with everything that makes a salad right!Chicken Cobb SaladI love that Wikipedia has a Cobb Salad definition: “The Cobb salad is a main-dish American garden salad typically made with chopped salad greens, tomato, crisp bacon, boiled, grilled or roasted chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, chives, Roquefort cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette.”  With just a few changes, mine is almost dictionary perfect!

Just look at all the delicious ingredients:Chicken Cobb SaladRipe cherry tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, creamy avocado, tender rotisserie chicken, salty crispy bacon, cucumbers, and shredded carrots.

Chicken Cobb SaladPlate it up, then drizzle (or pour on) ranch dressing and lots of crumbled blue cheese!!! Often a blue cheese dressing is used, but I’ve found, that there are a lot of folks who don’t care for blue cheese, so I’ve started serving my Chicken Cobb Salad with a creamy ranch dressing and serving the blue cheese on the side. Everyone is always happy and loves this salad!

I don’t think you’ll have any problem though….. just imagine… we served in shallow bowls (pretty good sized because after all, this was our main course) and piled on some of the lettuce (it’s under all the delicious topping on the platter, you just can’t see it because for me, it’s about all the toppings). After we served the lettuce, we each loaded on our favorite toppings! A little of this and a whole lot of that, all topped with a drizzle (or in my husbands case a lot of dressing) and plenty of blue cheese crumbles. Another round of fresh cracked pepper and we sat down and enjoyed this very delicious and filling Chicken Cobb Salad.

If you prefer, you can serve it all in a large salad bowl, toss with with the ranch dressing and call it done. I just like serving a layered salad where it’s easy to pick and choose what you like/dislike.
