Cobb Salad

This vibrant, protein-packed salad is a perfect light meal for two, combining bold flavours and fresh ingredients. Tender chicken breast is marinated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze and cooked to juicy perfection in the air fryer. Crisp grilled bacon, creamy avocado, tangy feta, and hearty hard-boiled eggs add layers of flavour and texture, while cherry tomatoes bring a fresh burst of sweetness. Everything sits on a crunchy bed of Little Gem lettuce and is finished with a zingy homemade honey mustard dressing. It’s a satisfying and wholesome dish, perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
