Instructions
Making Hard Boiled Eggs
In a saucepan, cover eggs with 1" of water. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover with a lid and allow to sit for 12 minutes. Run under cold water to stop the cooking. Peel and set aside.
Cobb Salad Prep
Fry the bacon until nice and crispy (about 5 minutes). Place on paper towel to drain. Chop into small pieces
Shred a Rotisserie Chicken or Grill Chicken breasts
Chop, wash, rinse, spin dry your lettuce. Use ½ Romaine Lettuce and Iceberg Lettuce.
Making Cobb Salad
Arrange the lettuce mix evenly across a platter. Place remaining ingredients (bacon, chicken, eggs, green onions, tomatoes, avocados and optional blue cheese) in rows across salad.
Generously drizzle with dressing of your choice, or let your guests choose.
Blue Cheese Dressing
In a bowl, whisk everything together except the blue cheese. You can use an electric mixer for a smoother, whipped dressing.
Add 2 tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese and mix throughout. Taste. This creates a very mild version of the recipe. Adjust Blue Cheese to taste.
