Coastal Cobb Salad

It’s is one of my favorites in summer days! Coastal cobb salad. Like a typical cobb salad, it’s filled with chopped lettuce, tomato, crisp bacon, hard-boiled eggs, grilled or roasted chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and chives. Drizzled with a tasty and flavorful dressing on top, this salad is very taste-tantalizing. This coastal version, however, is added in cooked and peeled shrimp, making it more delicious.

This coastal cobb salad is also defined by its dressing. It’s a mix of mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest, minced cilantro, garlic powder, sea salt and water. Coming out juicy, creamy and flavorful, this dressing gets my family hooked, especially my kids. They even ask me to use this homemade sauce for other grilled chicken salads. Yummy!

If you are finding a good salad to make in scorching days, this coastal cobb salad is the way to go. It’s a great choice for family dinner and gatherings. Why? It tastes so good and looks impressive. All ingredients are well prepared, arranged on a large platter then drizzled dressing on top. Let’s give it a try!
