This delicious Cobb Salad combines grilled chicken, smoked bacon, hard-boiled eggs, sweet sun ripened tomatoes, red onions, avocado, and gorgonzola cheese all in a homemade avocado ranch dressing. Summer perfect, this salad is just right for those nights when you just do not want to cook or you just want something cool and refreshing. Complete main meal summer salads are the best. They are quick to come together and quite often several of the ingredients can be prepared earlier in the day.

How To Make cobb salad

Step 1

In small bowl whisk together milk, sour cream, mayonnaise, avocado, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, dill and parsley. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salad.

Step 2

Marinate the chicken in the italian dressing for about 30 minutes. Grill the chicken in a 375-400 degree preheated grill for about 10-12 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees; flipping halfway through. Cover loosely with an aluminum foil tent.
Step 3

Fill salad bowl or salad platter with greens. Top with bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and red onion.
Step 4

Brush or spritz the sliced avocado with lemon juice. Add the avocado to the top of the salad.
Step 5

Top with the gorgonzola. Serve with the dressing on the side or drizzled over the top.
