Shrimp Cobb Salad makes the perfect lunch or light dinner. It's Gluten Free, Paleo and Keto friendly…pretty much good for anyone!
We're heading into the end of August and while Fall is right around the corner it's still hot outside! Turning on my oven in the evening while my house is still hot from the day is not my favorite thing. Early evening is the perfect time to open the windows to start cooling things down, not add more heat. I can't be alone here, right? I have 3 solutions for summer cooking: grill, slow cooker (instant pot) or cook in the morning.
This Shrimp Cobb Salad falls into the last category. In the cool of the morning you can cook the bacon for breakfast and reserve 4 slices for dinner. Then it's just a quick 5-10min boil to cook your hard boiled eggs and shrimp. Store in the refrigerator until dinner and you're done!
Already-prepped dinner salads come together so easily making meal time a breeze (of course here at Prep Dish we like to prep everything in advance :-)). You can also whip up the salad dressing in the a.m. as well!
I personally love blue cheese in my Cobb Salads but if it's not your thing you can easily sub feta or goat cheese or omit the cheese altogether if you're dairy free. Can't eat shrimp? Go ahead and sub grilled chicken!
This meal is perfect for everyone! It's a wonderful dinner salad for those without dietary restrictions but also works for paleo, gluten free and keto!
