Cobb Salad
Good nutritional profile
Salad with chicken, bacon, egg and avocado.
Cobb salad is an American composed salad of chopped lettuce topped with rows of grilled chicken, crisp bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, tomato and blue cheese, dressed with vinaigrette. It is high in protein and fat, with little carbohydrate; the avocado supplies mostly unsaturated fat, while bacon and cheese add saturated fat and sodium. Serving the dressing on the side makes the calories easier to control.
