Can I make Cobb Salad ahead of time?
They are easy to make if you are meal prepping and I really like using Mason jars to prep salad because I can pour the dressing on top, close the lid and shake it up to make sure all of my salad is covered with the dressing.
If you are doing meal prep with this keto cobb salad then I highly suggest that you put all of the salad ingredients in one container and the salad dressing in another and then combine when you are ready to eat. This will make it so you do not end up with a soggy salad.

Change up how the chicken Chicken. I like to use baked chicken but you can also use grilled chicken or poached chicken. If you are short on time you can use a rotisserie chicken from the store.
Change up the protein If you are not a fan of chicken you can also use baked turkey. This salad is also amazing with grilled shrimp or baked shrimp and grilled steak or air fryer steak.
Add more veggies. A traditional Cobb salad has lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados as the veggies but you can have fun and add others if you want to. Cucumbers, bell peppers are also great additions to low carb Cobb Salad. I like to use cherry tomatoes but you can use any tomatoes that you want to, beefsteak and heirloom are fantastic options.
