Chicken Cobb Salad

Yield: 6 servings

Preparation Time: 20 min

Ingredients

*Dressing:

2 cups fat free plain yogurt (divided)

4 large basil leaves

1/4 cup fresh parsley, stems removed

2 Tablespoons chopped chives

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 Tablespoons mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/4 teaspoon additional pepper (if desired)

Salad:

8 cups chopped lettuce (1 small head)

1/2 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

1 cup diced cucumber

2 slices cooked chicken breast, diced

2 Tablespoons bacon, cooked and chopped

1 hard boiled egg, chopped

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese

Directions:

Dressing:
Place 1 cup of yogurt, basil, parsley, chives, lemon juice, honey and pepper in a blender or food processor. Cover and pulse until smooth (dressing will be green in color).

Pour yogurt mixture into a medium bowl; stir in remaining yogurt, mayonnaise and salt and additional pepper, if desired until just blended; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Salad:
Place lettuce at the bottom of a bowl and sprinkle the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, chicken, chopped bacon, egg and shredded cheese on top.

Just before serving, pour dressing over salad and toss lightly.
