This classic American Cobb salad is the the best kind of chopped salad layered with protein, veggies, and healthy fats! Watch how I make this in my kitchen in the video below.
Servings: 2
Equipment

- 1 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast diced (see how to bake chicken)
- 6 cups romaine and green leaf lettuce roughly chopped
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes halved

Notes
- You can assemble the Cobb salad toppings in straight lines for presentation or simply toss them all in a bowl before serving. This is my favorite bowl for serving salads!
- While this salad recipe serves two, you can easily double or triple it for more people.
