Summertime is finally here! It feels surreal considering we just had an “April Blizzard” in Minnesota not too long ago. But hey, I enjoyed this delightful salad for dinner last night.
Let me paint you a picture of its flavors:
- luscious strawberries
- crispy salty bacon
- sweet green lettuce
- pops of sweet corn
- creamy avocado chunks
- and smoky chipotle grilled chicken! Yes, GRILLED!
How To Make Our Chipotle Cobb Salad:

This delightful Summer Chipotle Chicken Cobb Salad recipe is brought to you from the What’s Gaby Cooking Cookbook.
Remember when I shared those AMAZING chicken tinga tacos and raved about my friend Melissa’s cookbook? Well, here I am once again, singing the praises of this incredible recipe. It’s just a coincidence that both recipes came out around the same time!
We don’t receive any compensation for promoting cookbooks – I simply like sharing recipes that we enjoy and giving you a sneak peek at their best dishes.
This particular recipe is a standout, especially when paired with the cilantro vinaigrette, which I couldn’t resist using again for this salad. Gaby suggests using the champagne vinaigrette, but trust me, once you try this cilantro dressing, you won’t look back. It’s simply irresistible.
Now, let’s talk about the salad ingredients. As mentioned, this salad is packed with fresh, summery goodness, including:
The most “involved” part of the recipe (if you can even call it that) is marinating your chicken in a blend of spices and chipotle peppers before grilling.
Trust me, it’s worth the effort! So incredibly worth it.
Bjork and I savored this salad on our deck one random Tuesday evening, and we both absolutely relished every juicy, lip-smacking bite.
It’s a tad spicy, wonderfully crunchy, and those sweet bites in between are incredibly satisfying.
Thank you, Summer Chipotle Chicken Cobb Salad, for bringing our culinary dreams to life.
