Start by preparing all your ingredients: grill the chicken breast and let it cool before dicing. Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble. Boil the eggs, cool them down, peel and slice. Finally, dice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes.
On a large platter, arrange the mixed greens as a base. Then, in neat rows across the greens, layout the chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and blue cheese. This presentation not only looks impressive but also allows each diner to customize their plate.
Right before serving, drizzle your choice of dressing over the salad. Toss gently if preferred, or let everyone dress their own portion. The Cobb Salad is best enjoyed fresh, so gather your folks around the table and dive in!
