Cobb salad with a barbecue twist is a great summer salad when the weather is hot and you don't want to make a hot meal. It is cool and packed with chicken, bacon, cheese, and eggs so there is plenty of protein.

The original salad has chicken, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, corn, tomatoes, and hard boiled eggs on a bed of lettuce, usually Romain lettuce. It is topped with a vinaigrette dressing. It really is a delicious salad!

Our Cobb salad uses many of the same great ingredients, but with a twist. Since we like to do a barbecue, why not make our salad with a barbecue flare? We use a mix of Romain lettuce and nice, crisp iceberg lettuce along with the barbecued chicken. The corn on the cob is steamed, then grilled for a great flavor and char marks. Another difference is two kinds of cheese that we use, cheddar cheese for a sharp taste, and some crumbly feta for a slightly creamy taste. The original dressing is a vinaigrette. Everybody likes ranch a lot, so we made a quick ranch dressing just from the package and added a tablespoon of our taco seasoning.

Ingredients for the cobb salad with a barbecue twist:

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, barbecued
  • Romain lettuce
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • Crisp bacon
  • Hard boiled eggs, cut in half
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Red onions, sliced
  • Corn on the cob, roasted
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Feta cheese
  • Packet of ranch dressing
  • Taco seasoning

Making the cobb salad with a twist:

Start by grilling the barbecued chicken on the grill. When the chicken is almost done, brush it with barbecue sauce. Turn and baste the other side. If you want to, you can even cook this in the oven or cook small pieces in a pan on the stove and add barbecue sauce. They all taste really good!

Next, roast the corn by steaming it in a pan with a little water. Then, put it on the grill and grill for about 5 minutes or till it gets those wonderful grill marks.

Prepare the rest of the ingredients so they are easy to add when you are ready. Cut the hard boiled eggs in half and slice the tomatoes, avocado and onions. Crumble the bacon and shred the cheese, if you half to, or just use it from the package already shredded.

Assembling the salad:

On a tray or a large plate, place the romaine and iceberg lettuce, then spread it out on the tray so there is a nice layer.

Now, just add rows of your ingredients to the lettuce and enjoy!

The salad dressing is just a packet of ranch dressing with whole milk and mayonnaise, then add 1 Tablespoon of taco seasoning to the dressing and mix to incorporate. Chill for about 30 minutes. You can also drizzle some barbecue sauce over the top of the salad along with the dressing.
