Whole 30 Dairy Free Chicken Cobb Salad

Prep time20 min

Cook time25 min

Crisp bacon, juicy sliced chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and creamy avocado all land in neat rows over crunchy romaine, cherry tomatoes, and cool cucumber for that classic cobb look on one big platter. The chicken gets a quick rub of garlic powder and smoked paprika before it's seared to a deep golden crust, then rested and sliced so every bite stays juicy. A bright, punchy dressing of red wine vinegar, Dijon, and oregano gets whisked with olive oil until it emulsifies into something thick enough to cling to every ingredient. A scatter of fresh chives finishes it off with a little sharpness right before serving. This whole-foods, produce-and-protein-packed salad is a genuinely solid pick for a Whole30 kitchen, whether it's lunch prep for the week or a full dinner spread.

Instructions

1
Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 11 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes, then peel and quarter.

While the eggs cook, place the bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat and cook, turning once, until the fat has rendered and the strips are crisp, 7–9 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool, then break or chop into bite-sized pieces.
