Bacon Lettuce Tomato (And More) Salad With Blue Cheese Dressing image

Second place winner in the 2009 Craze-E Contest. Part BLT, part cobb salad, this meal in a bowl combines the best of both. I almost called it Blobb Salad or CobBLT, but neither sounded very appetizing--LOL!

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
6 mushrooms, sliced
1 medium avocado, sliced
1 cup fresh large tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons toasted nuts (optional, I used walnuts)
4 ounces blue cheese
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh dill (or 1/2 t dried dill)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Mix yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Crumble in blue cheese and mash with a fork, stirring until thick and creamy, but still chunky.
  • Place lettuce in a large bowl and add bacon, mushrooms, cheddar cheese, red onion, and nuts (if using). Toss briefly just to combine ingredients.
  • Add tomatoes and avocado. Gently and briefly toss.
  • Scoop salad into individual serving bowls. Top each with eggs and then salad dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I substituted ranch dressing instead. It was still delicious!
