THE EATINGWELL COBB SALAD

The Eatingwell Cobb Salad image

This salad from EatingWell Magazine is fairly close to the original from a restaurant in Hollywood, CA, however the blue cheese is optional. Toss your greens with the dressing, then again, drizzle over your completed salad. Serve with some hot, crispy bread and a nice glass of wine to serve as a meal.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
10 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded (1 large breast half, *see Tip)
2 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled and chopped (**see Tip)
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 large cucumber, seeded and sliced
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled (optional)

Steps:

Whisk vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl to combine.
Whisk in oil until combined.
Place salad greens in a large bowl.
Add half of the dressing and toss to coat.
Divide salad greens among 4 plates.
Arrange equal portions of chicken, egg, bacon, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado and blue cheese (if using) on top of the lettuce.
Drizzle the salads with the remaining dressing.
TIP:
*Tips To poach chicken breast: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan and add lightly salted water to cover; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.
**To hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water and run a constant stream of cold water over the eggs until completely cooled.
