(Updated )
Cobb salad already has strong flavors and distinct textures, so it adapts naturally to lettuce wraps. You keep the familiarity while making the format a little more portable and a little less heavy.

- Butter lettuce leaves
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 oz blue cheese

Instructions
- 1
Lay out the lettuce leaves on a platter or board.
- 2
Combine the chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, and blue cheese.
