Cobb salad is a so-called unmixed salad, the ingredients of which are spread in strips on green lettuce leaves and served with dressing. It is believed that this traditional American snack was invented in a Hollywood restaurant in the early thirties of the last century. The legend of the origin of the dish is similar to the legend of the origin of the Caesar salad. Allegedly late at night the chef had only a certain set of products left, he wanted to have a snack. The cook mixed the products and got what happened … The main thing is that it is very tasty!

There are many cobb recipes. In my opinion, its most important quality is that everyone can order a set of products to their liking - cobb without eggs, cobb without onions, cobb without bacon. In my recipe for cobb with chicken, arugula and chili, I really like this combination. A slightly sour dressing of yogurt, paprika and olive oil is perfect for it.

• Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients for Cobb Chicken and Arugula Salad

• 80 g arugula;
• 200 g chicken fillet;
• 50 g lettuce onions;
• 2 boiled eggs;
• 1 avocado;
• ½ lemon;
• 1 chili pepper;
• 40 g parmesan;

For refueling:

• 100 g Greek yogurt

• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika powder;

Cobb salad with chicken and arugula

Rinse the fresh arugula leaves, dry in a salad dryer, sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil and spread on a large plate in an even layer. I advise you to cook cobb salad in portions.

Cut the chicken breast fillet into thin strips, salt, pepper, fry in refined oil for several minutes until golden brown. Put the fried meat on a paper towel so that the excess oil is absorbed into the paper. Put the chicken fillet on a plate, lay out the meat in a strip.

Cut white salad onions into thin half rings, sprinkle with salt, pour with balsamic vinegar. Place a strip of pickled onion next to the chicken.

Peel the hard-boiled eggs, rub the egg white and yolk on a grater separately. Put a strip of protein on a plate.

Next to the egg white, pour in a yellow strip - grated yolk.

Peel the avocado, cut into small thin slices, pour with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Place the avocado strip on the plate.

We clean the chili pod from seeds, cut into thin strips. Rub the Parmesan on a fine grater. Sprinkle with grated cheese in a circle, put a strip of chili in the center of the plate. If you don't like hot peppers, replace them with bulgarian ones, or, as in the classic cobb recipe, use tomatoes.

Making a dressing for cobb salad - mix Greek yogurt, high-quality extra virgin olive oil in a bowl, add sea salt to taste, add smoked paprika powder, mix everything thoroughly.

Cobb salad with chicken and arugula is ready. We immediately serve the salad on the table. I advise you to serve the dressing for it separately in a gravy boat. Bon Appetit!

This dish is prepared just before serving, fried chicken can be replaced with smoked or boiled chicken breast.
