Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, skinless
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices Low fat turkey bacon
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 ounce Low fat blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the romaine lettuce. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place it into a large salad bowl.
Cook the turkey bacon. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon slices until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Place cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to cool and drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into smaller pieces.
Prepare the remaining ingredients: dice the cooked chicken breast, halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the avocado, and slice the hard-boiled eggs.
To make the vinaigrette, combine lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until blended.
Arrange the salad by placing the chopped romaine on the bottom, then artfully lay the chicken, cherry tomatoes, turkey bacon, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, and crumbled blue cheese in individual rows on top of the lettuce.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad before serving. Toss if desired.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and enjoy your low-fat Cobb salad!
