Low Carb Cobb Salad

Low Carb Cobb SaladLow Carb Cobb SaladLow Carb Cobb Salad. I found this somewhere on the internet-a way to remember the components of Cobb Salad. Use the mnemonic EAT COBB: Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Chicken, Onion, Bacon, Bleu Cheese. Low carb Cobb salad is a very simple and elegant salad to serve as a lunch or a main dinner entrée. I served this in the restaurant to rave reviews.

There are a lot of arrangements so just pick your favorite. The ideal is to have a different flavor or combination of flavors with each bite of salad.  I served mine with Caesar Dressing (traditional) and you can serve it with your own favorite.  If you are inclined to Caesar then my recipe is here: Caesar Salad Dressing and Briannas Asiago Caesar Salad Dressing makes what I call the best prepared Caesar dressing. As you can see from the second picture it can also be served with steak. My leftover steak was about 3 oz. of rare ribeye.

I have eaten many a low carb cobb salad in my day and I have traveled many times between Portland & Seattle.  There is a little joint off the I-5 in the middle of nowhere called Spiffy’s that has the best Cobb Salad (besides my own) that I have ever had so…if you are every up this way, stop in and try one…with their Caesar dressing- and it is the one I served in my restaurant.

  1. 1 Diced Hard Boiled Egg
  2. ½ Large Chunked Avocado
  3. ½ C Hand Pulled Chicken (2-3 Oz)
  4. ¼ C Chopped Tomato
  5. ¼ C Slivered Purple Onion
  6. ¼ C Chopped Cooked Bacon
  7. ¼ C Good Quality Crumbled Blue Cheese
  8. 2 C Lettuce
Instructions
  1. “IF” you have nice large oval plates this would be the time to use them.
  2. Pile as much lettuce as you can get on the plate-at least 2 C and more it wanted..
  3. Arrange your ingredients artfully around the edge of the salad then drizzle dressing all over everything. For company, a nice garnish might be a couple of cheese crisps tucked in at both ends along with a couple wedges of lemon.

Notes
  1. Since I cannot know or account for the salad dressing you will be using the nutritionals are for the ingredients listed.
  2. You may certainly use any lettuce you like but my favorite for this is Spring Mix with a little Romaine mixed in for crunch.
  3. Additional lowcarb ingredients to your Cobb Salad might be black olives, bay shrimp, ham, mung bean sprouts, shredded cheddar cheese, and even strawberries. I have given the traditional recipe but this is going to be YOUR salad so add whatever YOU want.
  4. This salad is not so much about the lettuce but about the other tastes and ingredients.
