Lighter Cobb Salad
I have been really loving making new salad recipes lately and this is one of my new favourites. Jammed packed with all sorts of good for your ingredients and great fuel, this is a salad that eats like a meal and one I hope you enjoy!
I am a huge fan of traditional cobb salads, but they tend to be a bit on the heavy side. And given the polarizing nature of blue cheese, I have decided to make a few substitutions in this Lighter Cobb Salad recipe.
What makes this Lighter Cobb Salad different?
I made a few substitutions while keeping some of the ingredients the same. I wanted a ton of protein in this salad so we kept the chicken breast and boiled eggs, and then added turkey bacon and chick peas. As far as veggies go, I tossed in romain lettuce, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onions.
Making this Lighter Cobb Salad
Whipping together this lighter cobb salad is super easy. I love making this as dinner and then enjoying the leftovers the next day for lunch. Really you can mix and match any protein or veggies that you have in your fridge. Feel free to experiment.
Dressing recipe
I have been trying to keep my salad dressings a bit lighter lately and this is a simple vinegrette that you can use for any salad really. Into a bowl toss together some dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper, and then stream in some olive oil. Really easy, and very satisfying.
