This Chicken Cobb Salad is one of those. This is a salad for the salad-haters. Or the rest of us when we just don’t feel like being healthy but know we really should. Despite the blue cheese and bacon pieces (which can be kept to a minimum to up the health-factor), this salad isn’t all bad.
Avocados are a wonder food – full of good fats and great for your skin, and the chicken breast and hard-boiled eggs are a great source of protein.
Essentially, this is a salad which everyone can enjoy. Mixand match the quantities to meet your requirements and everyone’s happy. There’s no point in depriving yourself of everything delicious or we would all just eat piles of lettuce. I love lettuce, but its very boring on its own.
So enjoy your salads, add one or two more indulgent ingredients and cut the snacks elsewhere if you’re calorie counting. This would be great served family-style with each of the components in small bowls, that way even the pickiest of eaters will be satisfied.
