Instructions

    16 oz frozen chicken nuggets

    1 6-ounce package baby greens, 4 eggs (hard-cooked), 4 slices bacon, 1 cup grape tomatoes, ½ cup shredded jack and cheddar mix, 1 cup frozen charred corn kernels

Notes

Alternatively, you can make this salad in a large salad bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve immediately.
To  make this as a meal prep: The eggs, bacon, and chicken can be prepared in advance and stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Assembled salads should be good for at least 2 days, with the dressing stored separately.
Salad Prep Tips
  1. Get the greens very dry. Extra moisture on your salad will make it soggy. Use a salad spinner to throughly dry the greens or buy them prewashed.
  2. Chill the greens and cold salad toppings. This will magnify the crispness and texture of the different cobb salad ingredients.
  3. Allow the chicken to cool slightly before adding it to the salad. Adding very hot chicken to the greens will wilt them. Allow some of the heat to blow off before assembling the salad.
