Notes

This Grilled Chicken Cobb Caesar Salad combines elements of a classic Cobb salad with a creamy Caesar-style dressing to create a hearty, all-in-one meal. Grilled chicken breast is seasoned simply with lemon, garlic, and oregano, then paired with romaine lettuce, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, Parmesan, and croutons. Everything is brought together with a homemade dressing made from mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, anchovies, lemon juice, and cheese.

The recipe works well because the grilled chicken adds warm, savory flavor that contrasts with the crisp lettuce and fresh vegetables. Bacon and eggs contribute richness, while the lemon-based seasoning and dressing keep the salad from feeling heavy. Mixing yogurt with mayonnaise creates a dressing that coats the ingredients evenly without overwhelming them. Anchovies provide depth, and the amount can be adjusted to control how pronounced that flavor is.

This salad fits easily into everyday home cooking and works for lunch or dinner. Most components can be prepared ahead and assembled just before serving. Leftovers are best stored with the dressing kept separate. The structure allows flexibility, such as omitting croutons, adjusting toppings, or modifying the dressing consistency to suit preference.
