Tastes like summer! This juicy salad! Pop of sweetness from fresh strawberries, this is served with chipotle chicken, sweet corn, avocado, cilantro vinaigrette and bacon crumbles for crunch.
Here comes summah summah summashhhhhtime!
It really is here (I kinda can't believe it since here in Minnesota we were all "April Blizzard" a minute ago), but you guys, it's totally here. I totally had it for dinner last night and And …
Here's what it tasted like:
- juicy strawberries
- crisp salty bacon
- sweet green lettuce
- bursts of sweet corn
- creamy avocado chunks
- … smoky chipotle grilled chicken! REPEAT: GRILLED!
And today from the What's Gaby Cooking Cookbook, a Summer Chipotle Chicken Cobb Salad is coming to our hearts: this dream team of ingredients, otherwise known as a Summer Chipotle Chicken Cobb Salad.
I am reminded that I published those BEST EVER chicken tinga tacos, I told you about my friend Melissa's amazing book, and then I started to talk about how I hardly ever promote books? So I turned around and told you how great THIS one was, too, but then? LOL to me. In fact, it's just dumb luck that both of these came out when they did.
I'm not being paid for the cookbook promotions – just the ones we like and let you see a glimpse of their best recipes.
This one is one that I like and that long list goes on. This might be one of its best recipes, and it is and. This salad couldn't not use the cilantro vinaigrette, tied with it was the cilantro vinaigrette. I don't know Gaby says but the salad needs the champagne vinaigrette but GABY COME ON WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO US?! After one good lick of that cilantro dressing, you're done. Goodbye. This is your life now.
Okay, salad ingredients. As mentioned, there is a lot of fresh summery goodness going on here, and it looks like so:
The "involved" part of the recipe if you can call it that, is just plopping your chicken in some spices and a few chipotle peppers and letting it marinate for awhile before grilled.
WORTH IT, you guys! So worth it.
But maybe normaler to take a picture of the grilled chicken than the raw marinated stuff who said nothing about normal.
We ate this salad on a deck on a random Tuesday night, and Bjork and I mega loved every lip licking juicy bite.
It's little spicy, a little crunchy, but the real sweet bite in-between are super, super rewarding.
