Cobb Salad with Grated Egg and Blue Cheese Dressing

I always enjoy a good Cobb salad, which consists of a little bit of everything I love, including greens, tomatoes, bacon, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, cheese and usually a flavorful vinaigrette to top it all off.
Yield: 1 salad
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped lettuce
  • ½ tomato, sliced or chopped
  • 2 sliced cooked turkey bacon, sliced
  • 2 ounces cooked chicken, cut into pieces
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 1 hard-boiled egg

For the Blue Cheese Dressing (makes ~1 cup)

  • ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 scallion, green onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

For the salad:

  • Arrange all salad ingredients (except for egg) in a bowl. Holding a grater or microplane over center of salad, grate egg and allow small pieces to scatter over veggies, chicken and bacon.
