Cobb Salad with The Best Creamy Lemon Dressing

61

Everything in this salad is 100 percent delicious. But the best part is the salad dressing. It is creamy, lemony tangy goodness. Of course the crispy bacon and well seasoned chicken add more yummy flavors but this dressing is to die for. The chicken is seasoned with salt, onion and garlic powders and grilled to juicy perfection in a pan.

The soft boiled eggs and avocado add another layer of creaminess too. I almost forgot to mention the chives – my personal favorite herb on the planet. Everything comes together to form this incredible salad. You will not regret making this one!

So if you’re prepping this salad ahead of time for an event or your weeks meals, please prepare your dressing separately from your salad and add to the ingredients as needed.
