1/4 cup Pickled Red Onion

4 tablespoons Vinaigrette Dressing

Instructions

Boil & Prepare Eggs

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer, place eggs in a saucepan and cook for 7-9 minutes depending on how firm you want the yolk.
Remove eggs from saucepan, place in ice water to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Peel and chop or half eggs.

Assemble Salad

In a large salad bowl, arrange the chopped Romaine lettuce and spring mix.
Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, and crumbled sheep's milk feta on top of the greens in sections or lines.
Continue to layer with cherry tomatoes, celery, carrots, and cucumbers.
Garnish with Castelvetrano olives, pickled red onions, pickled peppers, and sunflower seeds.
Drizzle your preferred vinaigrette dressing over the salad, or serve on the side.
Either let other's serve themselves and add their own dressing or toss all the ingredients together until well coated with the dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to customize your Chopped Cobb Salad with your favorite ingredients. Avocado, grilled chicken, or blue cheese are excellent additions.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or rotisserie chicken.
Make the salad vegetarian by omitting the bacon or using a plant-based bacon alternative.
Adjust the vinaigrette dressing according to your taste preferences. A balsamic or ranch dressing also complements this salad beautifully.
Prepare the hard-boiled eggs in advance to streamline the salad assembly process.
This salad is perfect for meal prep. Keep the ingredients separate until you're ready to enjoy, and it will stay fresh for several days in the refrigerator.
Experiment with different types of lettuce or greens to create unique variations of the Cobb salad.
