Mal’s Cobb Salad
Mal has been en fuego in the kitchen lately! While I was at the gym, Mal threw together a hearty Cobb Salad for dinner.
Mal’s Cobb Salad was a protein powerhouse, fueled by chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and bacon. I’m very satisfied… even a tad on the full side!
Mal’s Cobb Salad
Makes 4 servings
6 pieces of bacon, crumbled
2 boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup red onions, chopped
1 avocado, chunked
1 hard-boiled egg
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese*
Lettuce
Dressing:
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1. Top a bowl of lettuce with the chicken breast, bacon, red onion, avocado, and egg.
2. Whisk together dressing ingredients.
3. Dress salad, toss, and serve.
*We forgot to add the blue cheese, but the salad was still terrific!
The big bowl of Cobb Salad…
Mal ended up eating 2 servings, I ate one, and there is a serving leftover for my lunch tomorrow. I already added the blue cheese to it!
My afternoon snack was Fage with Kashi Go Lean Crunch and 2 tbsp of peanut butter all stirred together. It kept me full through the afternoon and a tough workout this evening.
