Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Meanwhile, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and let stand, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then run under cold water to cool. Peel under cold running water. Chop the hard-cooked eggs and season with salt.
- Combine the chicken, lemon zest and juice, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and a large pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; add enough cold water to cover the chicken by 1/2 inch. Bring to a bare simmer over medium heat (do not boil) and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 160 degrees F, about 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, shallot, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a serving bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified; season with pepper. Dice the chicken and toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing in a separate bowl.
- Halve, pit and dice the avocados. Season the tomatoes with salt. Add the Bibb and romaine lettuce to the serving bowl on top of the dressing. Arrange the bacon, hard-cooked eggs, chicken, avocados, tomatoes and blue cheese in rows on top of the lettuce. When ready to serve, toss the salad and season with salt and pepper.

Making this salad is a lot like putting in a garden. I "plant" everything in nice, neat sections, just as I do with seedlings. -Patricia Kile, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Cobb salad. Use fresh, ripe vegetables, crisp bacon, and hard-boiled eggs.
- Cook the bacon until crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the salad. Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is browned and crispy.
- Hard-boil the eggs until they are cooked through: Overcooked eggs will be rubbery and unpleasant to eat. Hard-boil the eggs for 10-12 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of greens: A mix of greens will add texture and flavor to your salad. Some good options include romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach.
- Don't overcrowd the salad: If you overcrowd the salad, it will be difficult to mix and the ingredients will not be evenly distributed. Use a large bowl or platter to make sure there is plenty of room for all of the ingredients.
- Dress the salad just before serving: Dressing the salad too early will wilt the greens. Dress the salad just before serving to ensure that the greens stay crisp.
Conclusion:
The Cobb salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables, crispy bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and cheese. The creamy avocado dressing adds a delicious finishing touch to the salad. With its variety of flavors and textures, the Cobb salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
