vegan cobb with chicken salad recipe - cheesecake factory copy cat- helping of happiness insta 1.png

If I am looking for a delicious salad, I love to head to the Cheesecake Factory!! This salad is in their power foods section and is called the Vegan Cobb. It’s absolutely incredible! I made a couple changes. I leave out the beets and add chicken. You can easily leave the chicken off if you’d like this to be a vegan salad. It’s packed with yummy plants and is bulky enough for lunch or dinner! This salad is also gluten & dairy free for our friends with food allergies. You have to try this- sooooo good!!

Directions:

Most of the vegetables in this salad are served raw, but we are going to blanch the asparagus and green beans. To blanch the vegetables, bring a pot of water to boil with a tsp or so of salt. While the water is coming to a boil, fill a large bowl with water and ice. Set to the side.

Once the water is boiling, put the asparagus and green beans into the boiling water. You are only going to get them cook for 2-3 minutes. You want them just a little tender and to keep their bright green color. Immediately strain water out of the asparagus and green beans out of the pot. Put the vegetables into the bowl of ice water to cool.

If you need to cook your quinoa and chicken, do that now.

Now all you have to do is assemble your salad!! Grab your lettuce and top with tomatoes, avocado, cucumbers, green onions, sunflower seeds, garbanzo beans, asparagus, green beans, quinoa, and chicken. Drizzle with Briana’s Blush Wine Vinaigrette.
