- 14 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 22 grilled chicken breasts, sliced
- 34 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 42 large hard-boiled eggs, quartered
- 51 avocado, diced

- 8For dressing: 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 6 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper
Instructions
- 1
Cook chicken in a seasoned skillet or on a grill pan over medium-high heat, 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and internal temp reads 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. Cook bacon in a cold skillet, bringing it up to medium heat slowly — this renders the fat evenly for perfectly crispy bacon. Drain on paper towels.
- 2
Arrange romaine in 2 large bowls. Organize the toppings in neat rows across the lettuce: sliced chicken, crumbled bacon, hard-boiled egg quarters, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled blue cheese. The classic Cobb presentation has each ingredient in its own stripe.

Whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until emulsified. Drizzle over the salad just before serving, or serve on the side for guests to dress themselves.
