For the Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4 pound sliced Black Forest or other smoked ham
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce (about 6 ounces) coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups watercress, thick stems removed
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 avocado, diced (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 cup cooked diced chicken breast 1 (6-ounce) breast
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Roquefort or Blue cheese (about 2 ounces)

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients and set aside.

Slice the ham into 1/2-inch strips. Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-high heat. Add the ham to the skillet and cook over stirring frequently, until the ham is warmed through and crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Remove and discard the yolk from 1 of the hard boiled eggs. Chop the remaining egg white and whole egg and set aside.

    Healthy Cobb Salad Finally

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I love cobb salads but shy away from them once I heard how many fat grams are in them. This was as good and ones I have... gotten in restaurants. I especially liked the homemade vinegrette. My husband and I had this for dinner with dakota rolls - it is a keeper.Read more
