  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, romaine, or your choice)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
– ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
– ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 avocado, diced
– ½ cup blue cheese, crumbled (or feta cheese)
– ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
– ¼ cup olive oil (for dressing)
– 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: Your choice of salad dressing (ranch, balsamic, etc.)


Instructions

Creating your Easy Cobb Salad Meal Prep can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:

1. Boil the Eggs: Start by placing eggs in a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool before peeling.

2. Prepare the Greens: While the eggs are boiling, rinse and dry your mixed greens. Place them in a large mixing bowl or salad container.

3. Cook the Chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, grill or bake your chicken breast until fully cooked. Dice it into bite-sized pieces. If necessary, season it with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Allow it to cool, then crumble it.

5. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the red onion.

6. Assemble the Salad: In your container, layer the mixed greens at the bottom. Next, evenly distribute the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, crumbled cheese, and red onion.

7. Slice the Eggs: Once cooled, peel the boiled eggs and cut them into quarters. Arrange the egg quarters on top of the salad.

8. Make the Dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust to taste.

9. Store the Salad: Cover the salad with a lid and store it in the refrigerator. If you prefer, you can keep the dressing separate to add just before serving.

10. Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavor, refrigerate the entire salad for about one hour to let the flavors meld.
