cobb salad
I love cobb salads, all of my favorite things piled up on a bed of greens. This lightened up version is just as tasty as the original! Makes for a great, hearty dinner.
yields 4 servings
1 head romaine lettuce, cleaned and chopped (or 2 10-oz bags of pre-washed, chopped, romaine)
12 oz grilled chicken breast (balsamic rosemary from trader joe’s works great here), sliced
6 slices turkey bacon (baked in oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees), chopped
4 hard boiled eggs, quartered
1 avocado, sliced
1 tomato, chopped
4 oz crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup basil, chopped
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons low fat mayonnaise
juice from one lemon
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
For dressing, whisk the mustard, honey, mayonnaise and lemon juice until combined. Add the olive oil in a slow steady stream while whisking. Add the chopped basil, chives and salt & pepper to taste.
Divide and arrange the lettuce among 4 plates. Top each bed of lettuce with a quarter of the chicken, eggs, avocado, tomato, bacon and gorgonzola. Drizzle a bit of the dressing over each salad. Enjoy!
