Rainbow Cobb Salad

I could eat a version of Cobb Salad at every meal
and be perfectly fine. It's easy and I don't have to think much to make it. I can change any one of the ingredients to change the flavor.

Low carb plenty of protein and nutrients AND delicious...perfect!

The one on the right is mine with the olives...Laura won't eat them.


Rainbow Cobb Salad

Cobb Salad with chicken, eggs, peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, spinach, olives and feta
  • Prep Time: 10 min
  • Cook Time: 12 min
  • Servings: 2
  • Ingredients:
  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • 1 bag prewashed spinach
  • 1 large chicken breast
  • tsp of feta cheese (optional)
  • 1 tsp of olive oil (optional for dressing)
  • 2 handfuls of grape tomatoes
  • 1/4 head of red cabbage
  • 1/2 a small can of black olives
  • 1 tsp real bacon bits

Directions:
Grill, roast or broil the chicken breast

While the chicken is cooking put two handfuls of spinach on each plate (sometimes spinach is a little dry...if that is the case I will rinse in water and shake before I plate it)

Cut up the cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, eggs, olives and put in fancy lines on your spinach (see picture)...this will definitely add to the flavor and your cool factor.

After the chicken is done (I grill it about 4-6 minutes per side)...cut it into chunks or be a real cave dude and tear it up (you can use a fork) and line up your chicken on the spinach.

I like a little feta cheese and bacon sprinkled on top.
If the chicken or the spinach is a little dry drizzle a little EVOO on it.

  1. I forgot to add the bacon bits...everything is better with REAL bacon on top!
