Cooking Steps
• Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 8-10 minutes. • Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop. • Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from pan. • While bacon cooks, wash and dry produce. • Trim and discard root end from lettuce; thinly slice leaves crosswise. Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Trim and thinly slice scallions.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with Ranch Spice, salt, and pepper. • Heat pan with bacon fat over medium-high heat; add a large drizzle of oil. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side (if chicken is browning too quickly, cover pan and lower heat). • Transfer to a cutting board to rest. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
• While chicken cooks, in a large bowl, combine guacamole, sour cream, 2 TBSP water, 1 TBSP olive oil, salt, and pepper (4 TBSP water and 2 TBSP olive oil for 4 servings).
• Add lettuce to bowl with dressing. Toss to thoroughly coat. • Transfer dressed lettuce to a large, shallow serving bowl. Top with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, scallions, and blue cheese in separate sections. • Serve salad family style.

- Suggestions: Consider adding hard-boiled eggs, croutons, or a zestier dressing. Try baking the bacon and chicken for easier prep.

A++. A delicious twist (get it?) on the cobb salad. This recipe is genius, full of flavor, amazing dressing, generous portions.
Really tasty and easy! It's easier to bake the bacon & chicken at 375 for about 20 minutes than to create multiple pans on the stove.
This salad was PHENOMENAL!! We would love to have it again! The dressing was great, the salad itself had enough ingredients to be filling and delicious!!
Love the salad, plenty for two with leftovers! I doubled the salad dressing (YUM!) presentation is lovely, but next time (AND THERE DEFINITELY WILL BE A NEXT TIME!) I will use a salad bowl & mix!
OMG another one of my favorite salads you guys have! I would like the meal to come with a little more dressing supplies, because one packet of guac wasn't exactly enough for the lettuce ratio, but other than that, I will definitely come back for this on the menu again!
My husband would have given it a 4 star but he doesn't take care of the subscription so you're stuck with my opinion. And I felt like it was meh. I did not like the ranch seasoning for the chicken- it only tasted like parsley. The instructions were not clear and I put way, way too much of the not great seasoning on it. I liked the dressing and the bacon was great. Overall, mid tier
Great recipe, fresh ingredients and way better tomatoes than usual. However, wish the chicken was pre-made option for quick 5 minutes salad for weekday lunch.
Very good. Didn't make it all fancy just on a large cutting board and everyone built their own. Maybe double up on bacon tho.
This is an umami bomb. I didn't think the dressing would work, but it's great! I didn't think it would need salt and pepper, but it does.
Definitely an upgrade from previously ordered salads. Ingredients fresh and plentiful. Keep up the good work!
