Good Recipe

Jared M - January 10, 2007 02:37:33 PM PST

The cheese, chicken, and olive oil all provide moretheless "good" fats. the 32 grams of fat sounds high, but it\'s not loaded with saturated or trans fats. Loose the bacon and egg yolks if you still feel uneasy about the fat, but overall this looks like a pretty good recipe.

Each serving is 450 calories and 32 g of fat.
450 is pretty standard for one meal. If it was 450 for the entire portion, that would be a little over 100 per serving; a can of soda has about the same. That would be would amazingly healthy meal if it only had 100 calories in it.

First reviewer is right

Those numbers are per serving. A four-ounce serving of chicken has approximately 35 grams of protein and this recipe calls for a half-pound (8 oz.). That being the case, there is no way the nutritional information listed is for all four servings since it lists only 27 grams of protein.

I thought you were supposed to use Roquefort cheese instead of Blue.

Cheese

To Jeff D: Roquefort is a blue cheese. I think I would prefer to use Cabrales, that is my favorite blue

Fat is not the enemy

I don\\'t see why people say this salad is so unhealthy. 450 calories for a meal is completely reasonable for a standard 2000 calorie a day diet, 3 450 calorie meals is only 1350 calories that leaves quite a lot of room for snacking etc.

While the fat grams are rather high - they are largely due to good fat - avocado and olive oil. If you think there is too much fat use center cut bacon, leave out the egg yolks, and pass on the cheese. But really, this is a healthy version of a Cobb Salad which usually has a large amount of ranch dressing.
