Keto Cobb Salad - Low Carb & Sugar Free - Keto & Gluten Free - Kicking Carbs (2024)

The contrast between crunchy romaine, crispy bacon, creamy blue cheese and avocado, and a delicious sweet heat dressing in this Keto Cobb Salad is enough to swoon over. The dressing is the star of the show, bringing everything together with a zippy, refreshing punch.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am crazy about salads.

One of my favorite salads has always been the Cobb Salad at the Brown Derby in Orlando.

While most of it is keto-friendly, I am relatively sure that the dressing has sugar in it.

This Keto Chicken Cobb Salad tips its hat to the traditional while staying sugar-free, low-carb, and keto-friendly.

This isn't your typical side salad, but rather a meal all its own. I'll have to say that as far as salads go, this dish is a tad indulgent. But no worries - this nutrient-rich meal has just four net carbs a serving.

Low Carb Cobb Salad Ingredients

• Vinegar:I used red wine vinegar, but unseasoned rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar works as well.
• Lemon Juice:Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best. For an extra pop of lemon flavor, you can also add in the zest.
• Dijon Mustard:If you prefer, grainy brown mustard may be used.
• Garlic:Fresh minced garlic is best, but garlic powder may also be used.
• Sweetener:I used Swerve confectioners. Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
• Crushed Red Pepper Flakes:This adds a subtle heat. Omit if you do not care for heat.
• Salt and Pepper:I used ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust to your personal preference.
• Olive Oil:A good quality extra-virgin olive oil is excellent here.
• Romaine:You can save time by buying pre-washed and chopped.
• Grilled Chicken:You can pick up a chicken at the grocery store or use thisKeto Grilled Chickenrecipe. (Thisair fryer chickenis good too.) I like chicken breasts, but thighs will work too.
• Hard-Boiled Eggs:You can use the method for hard-boiled eggs from thisKeto Deviled Eggrecipe.
• Avocado:If you are making this ahead of time, make sure you wait until just before serving to add the avocado.
• Tomatoes:I used plum, but any type you like works here. Cherry tomatoes are a great option.
• Blue Cheese:I find that buying a block and crumbling it myself yields the best flavor, but pre-crumbled works if you are short on time.
