Gluten Free Cobb Salad with Avocado Herb Dressing

Turmeric-rubbed chicken breast, grilled until juicy and sliced into thick strips, anchors this vibrant Cobb salad alongside crisp bacon crumbles and creamy avocado. Crunchy romaine forms the base, with rows of earthy roasted beets, cool cucumber, and either cherry tomatoes or radishes adding color and bite across the platter. The dressing is a bright, herby mix of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, thyme, and chives — whisked until glossy and drizzled generously over every component. It's a build-your-own-bite kind of salad, hearty enough for lunch and pretty enough for company. Fresh parsley scattered on top finishes it off with a clean, garden-fresh note. This one holds up beautifully as a gluten free lunch or dinner, no special planning required beyond what's already on the ingredient list.
