There’s something timeless about a Cobb salad. It’s bold, colorful, and full of everything you want in a meal—protein, crunch, creaminess, and flavor in every bite. And let me tell you, once I started making my own at home, there was no going back to takeout versions.

This Homemade Cobb Salad Bowl is a full meal in a bowl: grilled chicken, crisp bacon, creamy avocado, hard-boiled egg, juicy tomatoes, and blue cheese crumbles—all laid out like a rainbow over a bed of fresh greens. It’s quick to assemble and makes the perfect dinner when you want real food fast.

Ingredients (serves 3–4):

For the Salad:

• 6 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens

• 1 grilled chicken breast, sliced

• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

• 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

• 1 avocado, sliced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta

• Optional: sliced red onion, cucumber, or corn

For the Creamy Dressing:

• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

• 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together all dressing ingredients until creamy and smooth. Set aside.

2. Prep the toppings: Cook and slice your chicken, boil and peel the eggs, and chop all your veggies.

3. Assemble the bowls: Divide greens into bowls. Arrange chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, tomatoes, and cheese in rows or sections on top.

4. Drizzle & serve: Spoon dressing over the top or serve it on the side. Enjoy fresh!

Sarah’s Tips & Swaps:

• No grill? Use leftover rotisserie chicken or pan-seared chicken breast.

• Dairy-free? Skip the cheese and use a dairy-free yogurt for the dressing.

• Make it vegetarian: Use chickpeas or tempeh instead of chicken and bacon.

• Meal prep tip: Store ingredients separately in containers and assemble right before eating.
