This vibrant Cobb salad checklist runs clean: grilled chicken, jammy hard-boiled eggs, creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a handful of blueberries and walnuts for sweetness and crunch, all arranged over crisp romaine and mixed greens. The dressing is a quick whisk of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon, honey, and oregano, bright enough to tie every component together without weighing it down. Everything here is built from whole, naturally compliant ingredients rather than processed shortcuts, which makes this an easy, satisfying pick for a gluten free lunch or dinner rotation. Slice the chicken thin, keep the eggs jammy in the center, and layer everything in neat rows for that classic composed-salad look that's as pretty as it is filling. It's a great option when you want something hearty, protein-packed, and totally fitting for a gluten free table.
