Low Carb Cobb Chicken Salad is a great way to use up leftovers for a low carb/keto recipe idea for meal prepping or busy weeknights!

There are infinite possibilities to cobb salad ideas – and, using leftover grilled chicken is not a genius hack. It’s been done over and over and over. But! It’s a tried and true recipe that always delivers on appearance and taste! 

In the movie Julie and Julia there’s the scene where Julie goes to lunch with her friends — and they all order the cobb salad, each with a different topping removed. Julie doesn’t like eggs, so she orders her cobb salad sans eggs. 

That’s how I feel about cobb salads, too! I don’t like eggs, but I like other things.

This is a salad recipe you can mix and match ingredients until you find the combinations you love the best.

You may even find you have several combos, which makes eating this salad often not so bad!

 

When you’re just starting to eat low carb or keto, you hear the words “keto flu” a LOT! In Maria Emmerich’s book, Keto, you can read how to avoid this, and what to do when you feel it coming on. Most of the time, it’s as simple as drinking more water, eating more protein or fat, or upping your sodium. If you are wanting to learn more about the keto diet, this book is absolutely wonderful. It includes all the science-y things you need to know, but in an “everyday” language you can understand. 

This Low Carb Cobb Chicken Salad recipe uses Meal Prep Grilled Chicken plus a few other “goodies” listed below:

• butter lettuce
• hard-boiled eggs
• shredded carrots
• diced cucumbers
• goat cheese
• french onion strings
• greek yogurt ranch dressing

Low Carb Cobb Chicken Salad is definitely one of those recipes you could turn into a gigantic salad, and serve as a main dish.

What Kitchen Items Do I Need?

• Pasta Bowls work so well for cobb salads. They’re shallow, so there’s more room to line everything up.
• If you’re serving this “DIY” style as a salad bar, you might want some small bowls for all the toppings.
• This wooden tray would be nice for serving a large cobb salad.

 

Or, put out all the ingredients plus any other you have on hand, and let folks make their own cobb salads — a great way to teach your kids about pairing ingredients for a well-balanced meal!
