Notes

Salad makes two very large servings or three smaller servings. Nutrition is based on two large servings.
The cobb salad is just as delicious when freshly topped with the salad dressing as it is if the dressing sits for 15-20 minutes.
Store it: if you know you're making it in advance to make meal prep easier, prep the salad and store it in an airtight container but leave the salad dressing off.
When stored like this, the dairy-free cobb salad will last up to three days.
If you have sectioned meal prep containers, you can leave the cooked chicken and hardboiled egg off to the side making it even more fresh tasting.
