I love a good cobb salad. Satisfying, filling and full of so many different flavors and textures; cobb salads are the best! This grilled romaine cobb salad is easy, simple and comes together quickly for a weeknight meal or lunchtime delight.

Servings:

Prep Time: 10

Cook Time: 15

Total Time: 25

Ingredients

3-4 romaine hearts
4 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp Italian seasoning
salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces bacon , about 6-8 slices, chopped and browned
2 cooked chicken breasts, chopped rotisserie chicken works well
4 hard-boiled eggs
1 large avocado, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, chopped
½ cup blue cheese crumbled , or feta cheese
dressing of choice

Instructions

Prep the romaine hearts: Pull off any old leaves. Chop off the top 1 or 2 inches of the lettuce head, and shave off the browned part of the root end (be sure to leave the root end intact so that the lettuce head stays together.)
Sautee chopped bacon in a skillet until browned and crisp (about 5 minutes), then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to cool. Cook hard-boiled eggs then peel and quarter.
Prepare your grill: Turn your gas grill to high or get your charcoal coal grill very hot. If you are grilling the chicken, prepare and season with salt and pepper.
Combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle or brush over the romaine hearts to coat.
Grill the romaine hearts until lightly browned on all sides, turning every minute or two until done.
Arrange remaining salad ingredients (chicken, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, onion, blue cheese, and bacon) on the side or over the grilled romaine hearts.
Top with your favorite salad dressing.
