{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Chicken Cobb Salad with Avocado-Lime Ranch Dressing

 

Today, I had an early dentist appointment, then my cleaning lady is here.  When she leaves, I’ll go to the next town (Cape Girardeau) for my physical therapy and then errands for the business.  Tomorrow, we go to St. Louis for an appointment with my shoulder surgeon to see how I’m doing.  When we get home, I’ll be headed out to Optimist Bingo.  Sunday, I’m driving a two year old German Shepherd up the road a bit on a rescue transport.  It’s beautiful here today.  You all have a wonderful day.

Chicken Cobb Salad with Avocado-Lime Ranch Dressing

This is a recipe for a single-serving salad, but it can easily be adjusted for a larger salad for a family or a group.

One big handful chopped romaine lettuce

1 ounce spring mix lettuce

Shredded carrot and red cabbage

1 ounce Monterey Jack cheese blend

2 teaspoons frozen roasted corn, thawed

1 tablespoon chopped bacon

1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

4 grape tomatoes, 1 for each corner of the salad

Approximately 3 ounces chicken, sliced, either grilled or leftover fried tenders

 

In a large bowl, add chopped romaine lettuce. Spread the spring mix evenly across the romaine lettuce. Add carrot and red cabbage blend, sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over, then add bacon and chopped egg. Place 1 grape tomato in each corner of the salad and place chicken across the top of the salad. If desired, top with dried red peppers, croutons or sesame seeds. Serve with avocado-lime ranch dressing.

 

Avocado-Lime Ranch Dressing

1/2 to 1 avocado

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup buttermilk or yogurt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

2 teaspoons lime juice

Milk

 

Scoop avocado from the peel and mash well. Mix, in a bowl or pint jar, with mayonnaise and yogurt. Add spices and lime juice. Stir well. Add some milk to get the correct thickness. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

 

 

As you waste your breath complaining about life, someone out there is breathing their last.

Appreciate what you have.

Be thankful and stop complaining.

Live more, complain less.

Have more smiles, less stress.
