Grilled Chicken Cobb Caesar Salad is a meal in a salad, mixing two of your favourites into one delicious bowl!
Chicken Caesar salad is hands down one of the most popular and loved salads around the world. So is a good Cobb salad. Merging two into one? EVEN BETTER!
CHICKEN SALAD
This HUGE salad was our lunch a couple of weeks ago, and we have been so flat out creating videos, expanding our team and training some amazing people, that I haven’t had the chance to sit down and share anything properly! This week however, that’s all changing! I hope you’re as excited as I am!
The SKINNY Chicken Caesar Salad from a couple of years ago is STILL making the rounds on the internet, and I was showing our new team members some of the recipes I’ve been dreaming of turning into video. THAT salad was one of them. But THEN, this Cobb salad jumped out at me and I thought WHAT-IF-I-MERGE-BOTH-INTO-ONE? WHAT-WOULD-HAPPEN?
COBB SALAD + CAESAR SALAD
Seasoning the chicken in lemon and oregano for some epic Greek flavours, then grilling said chicken for a charcoal, barbecued flavour, kicks it all off. Adding some perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs, croutons, tomatoes, avocados, parmesan. Crispy bacon compliments the chicken so much so that you don’t even know which way to direct your fork! BUT THEN comes the dressing. Or should I say, THE DRESSING.
SALAD DRESSING
THIS caesar dressing is one of the best caesar salad dressings you will ever try. I use a mixture of Greek yogurt and mayo instead if using only mayo, to help cut down on the calories situation. I figure, the more calories saved in the dressing, the more bacon and avocado and egg you can enjoy.
Plus, the slight tang you get from the Greek yogurt takes this dressing from good to addictive!
