Green Goddess Cobb Salad

This vibrant Green Goddess Cobb salad is a refreshing twist on the classic American chopped salad, focusing on bright, herbaceous flavours and varied textures. By using a creamy yogurt-based dressing blended with fresh tarragon, chives, and coriander, this dish delivers a punch of freshness without the heavy saturated fats often found in traditional versions. The combination of protein-rich roast chicken and heart-healthy avocado makes it a satisfying main course that celebrates seasonal produce.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe balances lean protein with high-fibre vegetables such as fennel and pea shoots to help maintain steady energy levels. The addition of crispy chicken skin and guanciale provides a salty, savoury crunch that elevates the dish, making it a sophisticated choice for a light weekend lunch or a nutritious midweek dinner. Serve it on a large platter for a beautiful, family-style presentation.

How to make Green Goddess Cobb Salad

Puree spring onions, tarragon, chives, coriander, parsley, oil, vinegar, yoghurt, and one-fourth of avocado in a food processor until smooth. Thin dressing with water, adding a little at a time, until similar in consistency to double cream; season with salt and pepper.

Heat a dry small skillet over medium and cook guanciale, turning occasionally, until fat is rendered and meat is brown and crisp, 5–8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Add reserved chicken skin to skillet and cook, turning and pressing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 5–8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels with guanciale.

Arrange lettuce on a platter; drizzle with half of dressing and season with salt and pepper. Top with chicken meat, fennel, pea shoots, onion, and remaining avocado. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining dressing and crumble crispy chicken skin and guanciale over top.
