Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts in Cobb Salad?

Yes. Boneless thighs at the same weight are more forgiving and stay juicier. Give them two to four minutes longer; they are at their best around 175 F rather than 165 F. As written, the entry for Cobb Salad uses 1 cooked chicken breast, diced.

Can I make Cobb Salad dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled, 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free salad collection instead.

Does Cobb Salad contain eggs?

Yes: 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is dairy and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How much protein is in Cobb Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 2) has 32 g of protein in about 520 calories, alongside 10 g carbohydrate and 30 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 620 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list. More like it: the high-protein salad collection.

How long does Cobb Salad keep?

Once dressed, the lettuce will wilt within hours, so keep the dressing apart and toss Cobb Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.
