Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces slab bacon, diced, or thinly sliced
1 ripe Hass avocado
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 head romaine, washed and torn into small pieces
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, (6 ounce each) grilled, sauteed, or poached, diced
2 large vine-ripened tomatoes, cored and diced
1 head Bibb lettuce, washed and torn into small pieces
2 hard cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
4 scallions, whites and several inches of green, cut on an angle in very thin slices
1 medium bunch watercress, stemmed, and coarsely chopped
Basic Vinaigrette, recipe follows
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, red wine or aged sherry wine vinegar
2 to 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
2/3 to 3/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until golden and crispy and the fat is rendered, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and reserve.
  • Half the avocado, remove the seed, and scoop the halves out of the skin with a large spoon. Dice the avocado, and in a small bowl, gently toss with lemon juice.
  • Assemble the salad -- use a large, straight-sided glass bowl, if possible-- by layering the ingredients in the following order: romaine lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, Bibb lettuce, eggs, reserved bacon, scallions, avocado, watercress, and finally the blue cheese. Season with pepper to taste.
  • At the table, gently toss the salad with about a 3/4 to 1 cup of the vinaigrette. Divide the salad among chilled plates. Serve.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, the 1-teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in enough of the oil to make a smooth dressing with a balanced taste. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Use immediately or store covered, in the refrigerator, for up to a week.

This is a great way to utilize leftover ham to change it up into a completely different meal. It's also a great way to clean out the fridge with things that need using up. Ham and blue cheese both have a salty flavor so I chose to leave bacon out, but feel free to add it if you wish.
