🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, prep your ingredients! Wash and thoroughly dry all your lettuce leaves – this is crucial for preventing soggy wraps. Set aside.
  2. Next, chop your veggies. Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion (I know, it might make you cry, but it's worth it!), and roughly chop the celery. I like to use a good half cup of each!
  3. Now for the protein! Cook your bacon until crispy. Once cool enough to handle, crumble into small pieces. If using cooked chicken, dice it similarly. If grilling your own chicken, make sure to cook thoroughly before chopping.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, and celery. Gently toss to combine. I like to add some salt and freshly cracked black pepper to season things up a bit!
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together your favorite vinaigrette (I have a really good recipe for a creamy buttermilk ranch, let me know if you want it!), or a simple lemon-herb dressing is delicious too. I'm not kidding, I sometimes just use a little olive oil and lemon juice for a quick fix!
  6. Now, for the lettuce wraps! Place a generous portion of the chopped veggies into each lettuce leaf. Top with a scoop of avocado, a sprinkle of bacon bits, and a piece or two of chicken. Drizzle everything with your chosen dressing!
  7. Gently fold the lettuce leaves to create a wrap. If you have large leaves, you might even want to cut them in half to make smaller, more manageable wraps.
  8. Finally, serve immediately and savor each amazing, flavorful bite. Try not to eat all the cobb salad wraps before you take pictures of them! They're that good!

📝 Notes

  • Make sure your lettuce is completely dry to prevent soggy wraps.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables or protein such as crumbled blue cheese or hard-boiled egg
