Here’s how to make meal prep cobb salad.

Ingredients laid out for the Chicken Cobb Salad — Gather ingredients. You can make one salad at a time, but why not make enough for the whole week? That’s what we did.

Don’t be intimidated by the amount of ingredients in this salad. Once you have everything gathered, it comes together quickly. Plus it’s worth it when you have a filling salad every day for your lunch.

Sliced rotisserie chicken breast on a cutting board with knife and other salad ingredients — Be sure to use only chicken breast and no skin, or adjust points accordingly.

Slice chicken breast and remove skin to keep points low.

Sliced avocado on a cutting board below small bowls of chickpeas, sliced red onion and crumbled bacon — Avocado is a healthy fat that makes this salad more satisfying. Be sure to drizzle the avocado with lemon juice in order to prevent browning, especially if you are making enough salads for the whole week.

Add avocado. Another easy option is to leave off the fresh avocado and pack a Wholly Avocado cup for each day’s lunch.

Pack your salads into individual containers and you are ready to go.
