Harvest Cobb Salad: A Celebration of Fall Flavors

A vibrant medley of fall flavors, this Harvest Cobb Salad features chicken, crispy bacon, crunchy apples, and blue cheese atop a bed of mixed greens, drizzled with your favorite dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast
  • 6 strips Bacon
  • 2 Hard-Boiled Eggs
  • 2 Apples (Granny Smith or Fuji)
  • ½ cup Blue Cheese
  • 4 cups Mixed Greens (arugula, spinach, or kale)
  • ½ cup Dressing (balsamic vinaigrette or honey mustard)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Preheat your grill (or skillet) to medium-high. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to lock in those juicy flavors!
  2. Cook the Bacon: While the chicken cooks, place your bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Fry until crispy and golden, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  3. Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let it sit for 12 minutes, then transfer the eggs to an ice bath for easy peeling.
  4. Chop the Ingredients: While everything cooks, slice your apples and crumble your blue cheese. Slice the apples just before serving to prevent browning, or toss them in lemon juice.
  5. Assemble the Delight: In a large salad bowl, lay down your mixed greens as a base. Pile on sliced chicken, crispy bacon, hard-boiled eggs (sliced), crunchy apples, and blue cheese.
  6. Dress It Up: Drizzle your dressing over the salad right before serving. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is coated in deliciousness.
