What makes this grilled chicken cobb salad so special

There are two things that make this cobb salad stand out. First of all, the grilled chicken! Making cobb salad with grilled chicken that’s been sizzled on the BBQ imparts a delicious smoky char into the whole dish! It’s the epitome of what summer grilling is about: easy to make, delicious to eat, with a mouthwatering smoky char! The other special element is the warm bacon vinaigrette! The rich smokiness from the rendered bacon fat layers with the tang from the vinegar, with subtle heat from the adobo sauce. Dijon mustard and lime juice bring some brightness and zing, and the olive oil makes it luscious. It takes your grilled chicken cobb salad to the next level!

Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work great! Warm bacon vinaigrette: Rendered bacon fat, sherry vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, dijon mustard, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Other ingredients: Paprika, chili powder, sea salt, eggs, bacon, baby greens, tomatoes, and avocado.
