If there was ever a salad that satisfied everyone in my family, it’s a cobb salad. I mean, it has a little bit of everything in it… roast chicken, thick cut bacon, pecans, avocado (my Phoebe’s favorite), jammy eggs (my favorite), tomatoes, blue cheese, romaine lettuce and more!!

Cobb Salad Ingredients

This salad features a lot of lean protein from roasted chicken breast and jammy eggs.

Here’s my roast chicken recipe! I highly suggest making your own because it is so easy!! But if you don’t have time, you can buy a rotisserie chicken from the store. I use breast meat because it is lean and healthy. If you prefer dark meat, feel free to dice up the leg or thigh meat instead.

What are jammy eggs?

I love jammy eggs, click here to see how I make them. Basically, they are eggs cooked just a little under hard boiled. The average time for boiling eggs is:

  • Hard boiled: 8 to 9 minutes
  • Jammy eggs: 7 minutes
  • Soft boiled eggs: 6 minutes

For the Bacon:

Rather than frying, I like to bake bacon in the oven. To do this,

  1. Place long pieces of foil over a baking sheet. I like to overlap two long pieces so there’s less mess.
  2. Arrange the bacon strips on top of the foil in one even layer, being sure not to overlap slices.
  3. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 20 minutes (18 to 20 minutes for extra crispy bacon). If you use thick cut bacon, it will take longer to cook.

How to Make Dressing for Cobb Salad

The cobb salad dressing comes together in a flash. It’s pretty much a go-to salad dressing recipe that you make with simple pantry ingredients:

  • olive oil
  • dijon mustard
  • apple cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Place the dressing ingredients in a mason jar sealed with a lid and shake to combine.
