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.

Making Traditional Vinaigrette

  • Place in a small glass jar and shake vigorously!
