Creating a delicious Chopped Cobb Salad is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Wash and chop the greens and vegetables to the desired size.
2. Cook the Chicken: If you’re starting with raw chicken, season with salt and pepper, then grill or sauté until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Allow it to rest before dicing.
3. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels before crumbling.
4. Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and boil for about 10 minutes. Once cooked, cool them under cold water, peel, and chop.
5. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, toss together the chopped romaine, chicken, cherry tomatoes, avocado, blue cheese, bacon, chopped eggs, red onion, and cucumber.
6. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
7. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the assembled salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
8. Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls or platters and serve immediately.
By following these steps, you will create a Chopped Cobb Salad that is not only delicious but also visually impressive.
