      4. Cobb Salad with Dijon Dressing

      Cobb Salad with Dijon Dressing

      Low Sodium High Protein Diabetes-Friendly No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American Chicken Dinner Lunch Salad

      Cobb Salad with Dijon Dressing

      Low Sodium High Protein Diabetes-Friendly No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American Chicken Dinner Lunch Salad
      4 servings
      Prep time: 40 minutes
      Total time: 40 minutes

      Description

      This Cobb salad is true to the original with all the good stuff—chicken, eggs, bacon, avocado and a tangy dressing. But we cut the saturated fat in half and doubled the amount of healthy monounsaturated fat. We’ve left the blue cheese optional, but the salad is so nutritious you might just want to go ahead and indulge yourself with a little bit anyway.

      Directions

      1. Whisk vinegar, shallot, mustard, pepper and salt in a small bowl to combine. Whisk in oil until combined. Place salad greens in a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss to coat.
      2. Divide the greens among 4 plates. Arrange equal portions of chicken, egg, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, bacon and blue cheese (if using) on top of the lettuce. Drizzle the salads with the remaining dressing.

      Tips

      • Tip: To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan and add lightly salted water to cover; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. To shred the chicken, use two forks to pull it apart into long shreds.
