Crisp lettuce and bacon coupled with creamy cheese and avocado are the perfect way to enjoy your protein. This keto cobb salad is also great for meal prep ahead of time.
Living in an RV has been an adventure, for sure. However, if you have never lived in one, they have very thin walls. Of course, this makes them a lot easier to tow, as they don’t weigh as much. However, the thin walls means very little insulation. The temperatures have been in the triple digits since we first got here, and there is no end in sight.
What does that add up to? A VERY HOT RV, even with the air conditioner running all the time. Which means that cooking and baking do not happen on a regular basis. Hardly at all, to be totally honest. It just adds to much heat into the already hot camper.

We can still enjoy delicious meals while staying cool. The best part is being able to stay on my keto goals at the same time.
This keto cobb salad is a family favorite.
What is a cobb salad?
Cobb salad is named after Robert Cobb, the owner of the famous Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood. Legend has it that Cobb was strolling through the restaurant kitchen late one night in 1936, hungry, and started pulling things off the shelves and out of the refrigerators — avocado, tomato, lettuce, cold chicken breast, hard-boiled egg, bacon, Roquefort cheese, etc. (the ingredients vary a bit, depending on which legend you follow) — and put together quite a nice salad. The ingredients were chopped into a fine dice, arranged in stripes on top of the lettuce, and dressed with French dressing.

What makes this cobb salad recipe meal prep friendly?
You can make all the ingredients ahead of time. Cook your bacon (I used turkey bacon) and cut it into strips. You can use leftover rotisserie chicken, or cook up some chicken just for this. You can make this in a jar, by layering it as well. Leave the dressing on the side, and dress your salad at the time you want to eat it.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
- 1 chopped chicken thighs (or leftover chicken)
- 4 bacon strips, cooked crispy and diced into bits
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 2 hard boiled eggs, cut into halves
- 2-3 Tablespoons homemade Ranch dressing
Instructions:
- Tear the romaine lettuce into bite sized pieces, and place on a large plate.
- Top with chicken pieces, bacon, cheese, avocado slices and hard boiled egg halves.
- Drizzle homemade dressing over all.
- Serve immediately.
