Servings: 8 servings (2 cups per serving)
Ingredients
- 8 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped $1.92
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced $5.62
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped $2.28
- 4 roma tomatoes, chopped $1.00
- 4 hard-boiled eggs $1.80
- 1 avocado $0.96
- 4 green onions $0.45
- 4 Tbsp crumbled Blue cheese (just shy of 2.5 oz) $1.48
Red Wine Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar $0.36
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard $0.02
- 1 tsp dried oregano $0.10
- 1 garlic clove, minced $0.04
- ½ tsp salt $0.01
- ½ tsp ground black pepper $0.11
- 1 tsp sugar $0.01
- ½ cup olive oil $1.70
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients. (I used Beth’s method for cooking bacon in the oven and her Garlic Herb Baked Chicken Breast recipe for the chicken prep!) While your chicken and bacon are cooking in the oven, prep the veggies to cut down on prep time.
- To make the dressing, combine red wine vinegar, Dijon, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar in a bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly stream in the olive oil while briskly whisking until it is completely mixed in, with little to no oil sitting on the surface. This is a temporary emulsion, so you will likely need to whisk it again before dressing your salad.
- Traditionally, a Cobb salad is presented with all of the main ingredients laid out in neat rows on top of the fresh romaine. We eat with our eyes first, so have fun making it pretty for the fam if you have time! Enjoy!
