Yield: 2
Cuisine: Keto & Gluten-Free
Ingredients: 3.5 oz smoked bacon lardons; 2 large eggs; 1.4 oz watercress; 1.4 oz salad leaves of your choice; 1 cooked chicken breast, skinless and deboned (we use Butcher Box meat); 1 tomato, chopped; 1 avocado, diced; 3 TB olive oil; 1 TB lemon juice; 1 tsp Dijon mustard; Sea salt; Freshly ground black pepper

The chicken cobb salad is a classic that is full of flavor. It's hearty and filling, perfect for lunch or even dinner with a bowl of soup or sandwich on gluten-free bread.

This is a substantial chicken cobb salad with a decent amount of protein. It could serve 4 people as a light lunch, but the macros are calculated for 2 hungry people! I love a big salad, so I could honestly eat this whole thing myself. So tasty!

Chef Tips:

Many people add blue cheese to their Cobb salad, but any cheese will do, or you can leave it out altogether if you are lactose-intolerant. There is plenty going on in this colorful concoction, so a little cheese won’t be missed! I do usually add blue cheese to mine though!

Ingredients

3.5 oz smoked bacon lardons
2 large eggs
1.4 oz watercress
1.4 oz salad leaves of your choice
1 cooked chicken breast, skinless and deboned (we use Butcher Box meat)
1 tomato, chopped
1 avocado, diced
3 TB olive oil
1 TB lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Fry the bacon lardons in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until almost crispy. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
At the same time, boil the eggs to your liking. Run cold water over them to help them cool quicker, then peel and halve them.
Arrange the watercress and salad leaves in a wide, shallow-bottom salad bowl.
Arrange the chicken, bacon, eggs, tomato, and avocado on top.
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard together in a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour over the salad.
Season the salad with more salt and freshly ground black pepper if you feel it needs it.
