Ingredients

• 6 cups mixed greens
• 4 large hard-boiled eggs
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 large avocado
• 1 large tomato
• 1 cup blue cheese
• 1 cup vinaigrette
• 1 cup chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons chives
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Start by hard boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes. Afterward, transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and slice.

2. 2

   Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble into pieces.

3. 3

   If using chicken breast, season it with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-cook over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   While the bacon and eggs are cooking, wash and dry the mixed greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.

5. 5

   Dice the avocado and tomato. Add them to the bowl with the mixed greens.

6. 6

   Add the crumbled bacon, sliced hard-boiled eggs, chopped chicken (if used), and blue cheese to the salad bowl.

7. 7

   Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped chives before serving. Enjoy your Classic Cobb Salad!
