This Chopped Cobb salad is full of chicken, bacon, avocado, hard-boiled egg, and blue cheese crumbles, all tossed in an easy vinaigrette.

 
What’s to love about Cobb Salad"

I love that a cobb salad can be eaten as a main dish. Because it has bacon, chicken, egg, and cheese, it makes a filling meal. Perfect for a light summer dinner.
You can stick to the traditional ingredients of avocado, chicken, bacon, and egg, or you can use what you have on hand.
Typically a cobb salad is arranged on a platter with the ingredients in rows, but I love mixing them all together in a chopped salad. It’s easier to eat, better for serving a crowd, and you are sure to get lots of flavors in every bite.

 
Can Chopped Cobb Salad be made in advance"
The dressing can be made up to a week in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
The ingredients can all be chopped ahead of time and refrigerated in seperate containers. I don’t recommend mixing the ingredients together until slightly before serving so the lettuce stays fresh and crunchy.

Cobb Salad Dressing
The dressing is a simple vinaigrette flavored with garlic. It also has a little mayonnaise added to give it a little creaminess.  Since cobb salad is a heavier salad, I like a lighter dressing on it. A bottled Ranch dressing or Blue Cheese dressing can be used instead.
