Chicken Caesar Cobb Pasta Salad

I basically combined a cobb salad with a caesar salad, and added some pasta and fermented pickles. In other words, it’s the best pasta salad ever. Perfect for any spring or summer dinner.

  • Prep: 25 minutes
  • Cook: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta, dry
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and rough chopped
  • 12 ounces grilled chicken breast, sliced (or sub rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/2 small shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fermented pickles, chopped*
  • 1/2 an avocado, cubed
  • 1 small head of butterhead lettuce, washed, torn*
  • 1/4 cup feta crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Caesar Dressing

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken, bacon and boiled eggs. Simple grilled chicken breast or rotisserie chicken work great. I like to boil my eggs for exactly 9 minutes then rinse under cool water.
  2. Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions.
  3. While your pasta cooks, prep the tomatoes, shallots, pickles, avocado, lettuce and feta.
  4. Make the Greek Yogurt Caesar if you haven’t already.
  5. Drain the pasta when it is done cooking.
  6. Add everything to a large bowl and toss to combine.

Notes

  • A note on lettuce: I don’t recommend romaine or iceberg lettuce for this salad. They’re just not the best greens imo. You can sub the butterhead lettuce with mixed salad greens if necessary.
  • To meal prep: combine everything except the salad dressing. Divide into four equal portions and store in air-tight containers in the fridge. Add two tablespoons of dressing right before eating.
  • Fermented pickles:  if you don’t have any fermented pickles, you can sub with store-bought pickles, or chopped sauerkraut.
