This Healthy Cobb Salad is just 392 calories and is packed with 34.2g of protein!
Did you know that the traditional Cobb salad is between 720-800 calories? This one is the same size, and under 400 calories. It tastes just as good and is just as filling as the original too.


What surprised me the most was that the dressing was the “culprit” when it came to the inflated calories. So I made a low calorie version, and I was able to make a low calorie Cobb salad with real bacon, and the same size as a traditional Cobb salad serving.

Ingredients in Low Calorie Cobb Salad
I wasn’t sure what would get me more “hate mail” using real bacon, or using turkey bacon. So here is what I did, I used real bacon for the nutrition information, but gave you the option to swap it out for turkey bacon.
I have found in all my years of writing best selling low calorie cookbooks, that if you use the real thing (in this case bacon) but just a little less of it, you can cut calories without cutting taste.
So choose what works best for your diet, tastes, and views and know that either way this salad is yummy and easy!
