Ingredients You’ll Need For Our Layered Cobb Salad Recipe:
- Head of iceberg lettuce
- Roma tomatoes
- Red onion
- Canned corn
- Hard boiled eggs
- Cooked and crumbled bacon
- Ripe avocados
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Salad dressing of your choice
How To Make Our Layered Cobb Salad Recipe:
This recipe is super simple to make! The hardest part is the prepwork by getting all the ingredients cut, drained, boiled, and what not.
Once all of the ingredients are prepared, get out a very large, clear glass bowl or trifle.
NOTES: If you want this dish to catch everyone’s eye, the see through aspect of the trifle is ideal, but if you don’t have one handy, any large bowl will do the job.
Once you have the bowl out, add the chopped lettuce to the bottom of the bowl.
Next you are going to add tomatoes, onion, and corn on top of the lettuce. Next, add the hard boiled eggs and top them off with a layer of bacon, avocado, and cheddar cheese.
Do as many sets of the layers as you need to fill the bowl or until you run out of ingredients. Generally for us its 2 sets of layering.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve it with your favorite salad dressing.
For a low-carb twist, substitute the crispy bacon with turkey bacon or opt for jalapeño ranch for that extra kick of flavor.
