CHICKEN COBB SALAD WITH AVOCADO DRESSING

Chicken Cobb Salad With Avocado Dressing image

This is based on Smoked Chicken Cobb Salad from the Cooking Light Best Ever Slim-Down Recipes book. To simplify it, I modified it to remove the smoking of the chicken. This is quite a tasty salad. I love all the different flavors. I used a large clove of garlic in the dressing and it had a good bite. The avocado I used was about 1 cup diced.

Ingredients

1/2 cup avocado, diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons water
4 slices center-cut bacon
1 teaspoon canola oil
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 cups romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped
4 cups Baby Spinach
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf, chopped
1/3 cup avocado, diced
2 heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/3 inch thick slices
2 large eggs, hard cooked, chilled, and quartered lengthwise
1 1/2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

To prepare dressing, combine first 7 ingredients in a mini food processor; process until smooth.
To prepare salad, cook bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; saute 6 minutes on each side or until done. Cool slightly; shred with 2 forks.
Combine romaine, spinach, and basil in a large bowl; toss. Arrange 2 cups spinach mixture on each of 4 plates. Divide bacon, chicken, 1/3 cup avocado, tomatoes, eggs, and cheese evenly among plates. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons dressing over each salad.

Tips:

For a quick and easy meal, use pre-cooked chicken or tofu.
Feel free to add other vegetables to your salad, such as cucumber, bell pepper, or radishes.
If you don't have avocado on hand, you can use another creamy dressing, such as ranch or blue cheese.
To make a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the chicken and add more chickpeas or black beans.
This salad is also great for meal prep. Simply make a batch of the dressing and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you're ready to eat, just assemble the salad and drizzle with dressing.
