This Cobb Salad is an entire meal in a bowl. So delicious and healthy!

Cobb SaladThe party’s over folks! Wah wah! I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but…it’s time to step away from that Super Bowl spread of hot wings, nachos and cheesesteaks and belly up to the salad bar! Don’t worry though, I’ve got us covered. And I didn’t make us just any old salad, I made us this absolutely amazing Cobb Salad!

Cobb Salad

If you’ve never tried a Cobb Salad, oh, have you been missing out! It’s an entire meal in a bowl! It’s loaded with all things good for you. Ok, I’m fudging just a little… not the bacon, but come on, it’s bacon, and we all know bacon makes everything better. And besides, I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t go from eating Super Bowl goodies to just plain old rabbit food in the blink of an eye. I need extras to entice me, and this salad has exactly that!

The Cobb is packed with delicious ingredients. It’s a mixture of salad greens (I used romaine and watercress), avocados, tomatoes, crisp bacon, grilled or roasted chicken, crumbled roquefort cheese, hard-boiled egg and then topped with a red wine vinaigrette. See, I told you, it’s a meal. Am I right?! And so unbelievably easy!

Cobb Salad

Please join me back here at the BHK on Thursday when I’ll be sharing something fabulous for Valentine’s Day!! Whether you celebrate the day with a group of friends or enjoy something more intimate for two, it will be perfect! ♥ Hope you all have a great week!

    Salad cravings are something that I experience year round and Cobb Salads are usually on the top of my list. As a matter of fact, just yesterday I was thinking I am long overdo for a Cobb Salad. As for the bacon. . . well there is always turkey bacon. . .then you have a perfectly healthy salad right there.
