00:00Other than this epic blackened chicken,

00:13everything else is your classic ingredients

00:15from Cobb salad plus my incredible vinaigrette,

00:19which I'm also gonna link in the description box for you.

00:21So if you're into homemade dressings that take two minutes,

00:24make sure to make that.

00:25So the first thing I'm gonna do,

00:26I'm gonna chop up my romaine lettuce,

00:29which I've already washed before this video.

00:31So you can get to your salad a lot quicker.

00:34Now, whether you build this Cobb salad for one or four people,

00:38this is epic because a Cobb salad has hard boiled eggs,

00:42tomatoes, crispy bacon.

00:45Hold up, I'm getting ahead of myself.

00:46Let's continue making it.

00:47I'm also chopping up some crispy cucumber,

00:50cause it's juicy.

00:51These English cucumbers are delicious.

00:54Also cherry tomatoes.

00:55You can put them whole on top or in half.

00:58I personally like them sliced in half.

01:00What would a Cobb salad be without a hard boiled egg?

01:03Let's cut this guy in half.

01:05Let's make some room on the board

01:06and put these guys on the salad.

01:09I'm gonna coarsely chop up this bacon

01:11that I cooked in the microwave,

01:12which if you've never done it before,

01:14I'll link that video for you right below.

01:16Now I'm gonna add a shallot to my Cobb salad.

01:19Shallot and onions are cousins.

01:21I just happen to have a shallot around.

01:24It's milder than red onions,

01:25but if you like red onion on your salads,

01:27go ahead and do that.

01:29Now this blackened chicken is simply incredible.

01:32I cooked it in another video,

01:33which I'm gonna leave the recipe

01:34and the link to that below.

01:36It'll be the tastiest chicken you'll ever make.

01:39So I'm simply going to slice it.

01:41You can make an entire pan just like I did here,

01:43and have it in the fridge

01:45for when you make your salads throughout the week.

01:47It adds tons of flavor and lots of protein.

01:50I'm gonna add some avocado to this salad.

01:52Doesn't cost extra in this video.

01:56Check it out.

01:57Does it make your day when you slice an avocado in half

01:59and it's epic and ready to eat?

02:02It does make my day.

02:03Let me know in the comments

02:04what your experience with avocados is,

02:07because sometimes it can be good,

02:08sometimes it's not so bueno.

02:10And of course, I'm also gonna add some blue cheese

02:13to this Cobb salad, because I love blue cheese.

02:17And last but not least is this red wine vinaigrette,

02:19which I keep in my fridge.

02:21It takes two minutes to make,

02:22and when I want it, I just grab it, give it a good shake,

02:25and it lasts up to a week.

02:27So it definitely is worth making your own salad dressing.

02:31Let's drizzle it over the top.

02:36So I'm gonna build my base

02:37with some freshly washed romaine lettuce.

02:40I love romaine, because it's crunchy and so delicious,

02:43and it fills you up and makes a perfect base for salads.

02:46I'm gonna build a salad

02:47with some really juicy cherry tomatoes.

02:49They're actually grape tomatoes,

02:51because they're oval, but I'm gonna slice them in half.

02:53You can also use your garden tomatoes,

02:55fresh tomatoes for this salad.

02:57Now, I love cheese on my salads,

02:59and on this one I'm adding a bocconcini

03:00or like little mini mozzarella balls.

03:03You could add your favorite cheese.

03:05I also love a sharp cheese with this salad,

03:07because it contrasts the blackened chicken really well.

03:10Now, the star of the show is this blackened chicken

03:12that I made in another video,

03:14and I love using it on my salads, on pasta.

03:18You could even cook a few pieces like I did ahead of time,

03:21keep it in the fridge for a few days,

03:23and build incredible salads with it,

03:26or other meals like my blackened chicken pasta.

03:29I'll link all of that below.

03:30I have an entire playlist, and the seasoning is so good.

03:33I'm gonna add some avocado,

03:35because I have an incredibly ready-to-eat avocado,

03:38which makes everything better and really delicious.

03:41It also fills you up.

03:42And what would tomato and mozzarella be

03:46without some fresh basil?

03:48So let's chop some of these and sprinkle it on top.

03:52If you don't have fresh basil,

03:53and you have a jar of pesto sauce from dinner,

03:56you could also use that.

04:06I'm using some green leaf lettuce for this salad.

04:08You can use green leaf or romaine.

04:11Just remember to chop it up as big or small as you like,

04:14and then place it directly inside of your container

04:17as the base.

04:19I'm also gonna slice some cherry tomatoes in half,

04:22but if you don't wanna go through the trouble,

04:24you can leave them whole and place them in your salad.

04:28I'm chopping a bit of a shallot.

04:30You could also use a red onions,

04:32they're cousins anyway, and place it on my salad.

04:35Avocado and crispy chicken go so well together,

04:38so sometimes I take an avocado,

04:40and I dice it up and add it in here.

04:42However, today, my avocado is hard as a rock,

04:46so we're gonna skip that.

04:47But if you've got one that's ready to go,

04:49by all means, place it in your salad.

04:50Chicken strips are the key

04:52to making this salad happen real quick.

04:54I cooked these chicken strips in the air fryer

04:56last night to golden perfection,

04:58and these two are the lucky ones.

05:00I get to make it into the salad today.

05:02So what I'm gonna do is slice them into little pieces

05:05and place them directly on top.

05:06My biggest recommendation to keeping everything fresh

05:09until lunch is to pack your favorite dressing

05:12in a separate small lid container.

05:15Here, I'm adding some ranch,

05:16and I'm gonna take the lid and place it right on top.

05:20By the way, if you find tips like this one helpful,

05:22give this video a thumbs up,

05:23so I know to always add them in my videos for you.

05:26Now, you can make the salad in the morning real quick

05:28in like five minutes,

05:30or you could also make this the night before,

05:32once the chicken is fully cooled down,

05:34because you don't wanna wilt your lettuce,

05:36and then place it in the refrigerator,

05:38and in the morning, pull it out,

05:40and grab some ice packs,

05:42place those inside of your lunch bag,

05:45place the salad right on top and the dressing,

05:48and this lunch is ready to go.

05:50Now, the dressing is always added at the very end,

05:52right before you're gonna enjoy it,

05:54and I just like to drizzle it right over my chicken

05:56and greens just like that,

05:58and the salad is good to go.

06:00See you next time.
