How To Make cobb salad

  • Step 1
    In a small bowl, whisk the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, granulated sugar, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • 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. Dice the cooked chicken and add it to the salad.
  • Step 5
    Top with the blue cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.
